With this Saturday being the first weekend in November, I thought I’d make today’s I {heart} Saturdays about gratitude. There are so many things in my life that I’m thankful for. As we head into the holiday season with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s as good of a day as any to be inspired by the generosity of the creative community at large.
Just a quick reminder about the word:
grate-ful \ˈgrāt-fəl\
appreciative of benefits received b : expressing gratitude <grateful thanks
affording pleasure or contentment :pleasing b : pleasing by reason of comfort supplied or discomfort alleviated
— grate·ful·ly \-fə-lē\ adverb
— grate·ful·ness noun

Synonyms: appreciative, glad, obliged, thankful
Here are some images that inspire me today.
I really enjoy taking time each week to surf the web and find images that speak to me and share them on my I {heart} Saturdays posts. I will always cite the sources where I find these images. If any of them are under copyright and not available for re-publication on the web, please email me and I will remove them asap.

Here’s wishing you a truly Artful day!
Thanks so much for your reply. Yeah, the little stick figure guy cracked me up too. I like things when they are kinda sweet and nice, but everything I do just has to have a little bit of an edge to it. It guess its the “real” in me that likes to keep things a little bit interesting. Does that make any sense??? LOL.
It’s always good to be reminded to be grateful – thanks! The little stick figure cartoon guy cracks me up
