Last year, I wrote the Gratitude Reflection Challenge in a very different world. It was one that had many of the same problems (and genuinely good things) that still exist in 2020, but it was certainly not under the filter of a global pandemic—which at the time of writing this has claimed 1.2 million lives worldwide. It’s been a sobering year that has been filled with more lows than highs for not only myself but many people. With all of these complicated emotions and experiences on my mind in the season of giving and gratitude, I felt it more imperative than ever to revisit the Gratitude Reflection Challenge.

November is understandably a time when many of us make it a point to reflect on what we’re grateful for both because of Thanksgiving and because we’re nearly done with the year. With this in mind, I wanted to present my idea for a Gratitude Reflection Challenge that I wanted to participate in but also wanted to share with my readers and followers.
