November naturally invites reflection. The days grow shorter, the calendar fills quickly, and gratitude becomes part of the conversation (as does turkey and mashed potatoes!). This is the season when many of us pause and take stock, even if life feels busy or a little noisy.
This month’s elevenie centers on gratitude as a choice.
If you’re new here: an Elevenie is a short poem made up of eleven words, spread across five lines. Read more about Elevenies here.
November’s Elevenie
Gratitude
Reminds me
Every single day
Overlook the small stuff
Serenity
Zen
A Choice
Everywhere you look
See what you want
Peace
Boundaries
Guide you
Choose them wisely
Control what you can
Security



As we move through November and into the heart of the holiday season, I hope this poem encourages you to look closely at your own small moments of gratitude. They are often easier to find than we expect.
What are you grateful for? 🍂💛
