Activity Corner – Gratitude
We’re offering a really fun grab-and-go activity at the library this month – a handprint gratitude wreath! It inspired this post on all things gratitude. It’s hard, after almost two years of the complete upheaval of daily life to take the time to find things to be thankful for. But I think now, more than ever, it’s absolutely important. With so many people tired, frustrated, angry, sad, and taking out a lot of those feelings on the people around them. I strongly believe that kindness is contagious and that we can spread love and happiness just as much as negativity, so here are a few books and a few activities to share some positivity this holiday season!
