Oct. 1 - Gratitude Pumpkin

Day 273 of a year of kindness

I made a Gratitude Pumpkin. I borrowed this idea from Jen Wasem who has celebrated fall with a Gratitude Pumpkin for more than a decade. She writes something she is grateful for every day on the pumpkin until the end of November.Being grateful is one of the pillars of kindness so I thought I would start a gratitude practice by following Jen’s lead. It’s easy to forget to be grateful. My Gratitude Pumpkin is here to remind me.

Science of Kindness: Research reveals that a regular gratitude practice can boost emotional resilience, improve sleep, strengthen relationships, and rewire the brain for greater joy and empathy. #bekind #kindessmatters #bekind #KindnessCounts #KindnessCounts2025 #gratitudepumpkin #gratitude
