Each day I get an email from Gratefulness.org giving me a quote on a reason to be grateful I can't remember when or why I signed up for them but I enjoy them and often they have some linkage to whatever I happen to be working on.
A few days ago, (21 December) Gratefulness.org invited readers to 'rededicate ourselves to our vision of a peaceful, thriving, and sustainable world ... One way we can do this is with practices which connect us to our core values, reminding us to live them – as best we can – in all areas of our lives. In this spirit, we invite you to join us this holiday season in lighting candles for 12 days to illuminate our individual and collective connection to the values of Grateful Living.'
Curious, I looked at the list of the 12 values. December 23 was 'compassion' which piqued my interest. It's a word, or maybe even a value, I've noticed that is creeping into organisational usage.
