There are many things that we should all be grateful for each day, but our schedules get so hectic that most of us don’t have the time to stop and think about the moments that make our lives worthwhile. That’s why we’re grateful for World Gratitude Day – an entire day when everyone across the globe is encouraged to take time to recognize the things that bring us joy.
World Gratitude Day got started in 1965 when a group of dignitaries from several different nations enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner together in Hawaii. All of the attendees agreed to take the idea of setting aside one day every year to express personal gratitude back to their home countries. They declared September 21 to be that day, and since then it has become an internationally celebrated occasion.
