Gratitude is the Our dogs can teach us so much about life; like how to live in the moment and be grateful for every little treat. And, that is especially true during the holidays! I wasn’t raised with the practice of saying Grace before eating, it is something I picked up last year. During the times of a global pandemic, and food scarcity, it made me realize just how blessed we are for simply being healthy, and having a fridge full of goodies. Having loving pets by our side during these difficult times was a huge bonus! Dogs make the best quarantine buddies. Indeed, it's so easy to take our blessings for granted, and practicing Grace is one way to practice gratitude on the daily. This simple practice has allowed me to become more present in my life, and more aware of life’s little miracles. The word "grace" comes from the Latin words "gratiarum actio" which means "act of thanks". To say Grace is to offer thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving season, we have a lot to be thankful for. As we celebrate our 2 year anniversary, we feel so blessed that we get to do what we love on daily basis, and bring smiles to people's faces. For this issue, we sat down with Shannon, the mamager of GGCREW, who is also celebrating her 5K milestone on Instagram, this month, and who had also expressed the importance of having an attitude of gratitude.
