There are all kinds of little things we find ourselves doing with great ease.  It is not difficult because we just have a knack for it. We often do not even notice until someone who lacks the ease we do points it out. We become the go to person for ideas, tasks, or even a way of being.  Our knacks provide a template through which to explore gratitude.  On days like Thanksgiving we focus on the big things for which we are grateful.  It is the knacks in our lives which add up to the big things.  If we have a knack for listening it creates good relationships.  If we have a knack for organization it creates clarity for those who interact with us.  If we have a knack for technology we can be helpful to others.  How often do we stop and appreciate our knacks?  One of my dearest friends has a knack for finding good places to stay at our yearly girls reunion.  I am so grateful for her knack because not only is it not something I do not have to wrestle with other than when it comes time to vote, but we always end up at reunion spot in a great place which adds to the overall experience.  I am very grateful for her and my core group of gal pals whom I have known since I was 10 years old for so many reasons.  My love for them just lights up my heart.  Each of them have their knacks and I do not often stop to reflect on the little things they do that make being in relationship with them so special.  We all have them and we all know other people’s knacks.  What if today we expressed gratitude for our knacks?
