November 30 is the final day of the Thirty Day Gratitude Challenge that executive trainer Jeff Packard created on FaceBook. The challenge debuted in May 2012, but playing off the Thanksgiving holiday, it soon switched to November. The Gratitude Challenge is an invitation to express thanks each day of the month. In similar vein, my observances of Thanksgiving have often included opportunities for dinner guests to share what they are thankful for. Life is a gift and I don't think we can ever express gratitude too often, but I also confess that I frequently experience these exercises as more perfunctory than profound. The gratitude challenge and its variants can fall prey to good fortune on the one hand, or resignation on the other.
