Thanksgiving: Gratitude, Memory, and the Stories We Live

This session explores how gratitude shapes the way we understand our lives. Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday tradition — it invites us to reflect on how we create meaning through the memories we choose to hold onto, the moments we appreciate, and the stories we tell about ourselves.
We’ll talk about:

• Whether gratitude is a feeling or a conscious choice
• How gratitude changes the way we experience time
• Why some memories become meaningful and others fade
• How different cultures understand gratitude

And a guiding question for discussion:

If you could keep only a handful of memories from this past year, which ones of gratitude would you choose — and what would that reveal about you?
