Saturday is Gratitude Day at The Book Market

For many people, 2025 has been filled with many challenges - so many that sometimes it's also challenging to find the blessings.

But even in the darkest of times, the blessings are there, just waiting for us to notice and appreciate them.

And sometimes, just finding those blessings can shine a little light in the dark, and can lighten the heaviest heart.

Some members of the B.L.O.C.K.S./BryonySeries team will be hanging out at The Book Market this Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. exploring blessings and gratitude.

For details, read "Celebrate Gratitude AND Give Kids the Gift of Reading This Holiday Season."

Let's celebrate together!

Very few of us can say we've never been blessed.

But when life is hard, it's also sometimes harder to find and those appreciate those blessings.

Here's an opportunity for you.

Simply visit the BryonySeries calendar, pick a date (any date or the current date), read the prompt, and follow the instructions.

Yes, each reflection does link back to a BryonySeries book. But that's only for context.

Even one of the exercises has value. Or you may do them all.

If you've had recent challenges - or are experiencing challenges (I certainly have) - the reflections are a wonderful way to remind you of the blessings you've experienced - now and in thet past - and give hope of the blessings that await you in the future.

If you live in the Will County, Illinois, area, here's another way to celebrate gratitude this month.

Happy Monday!
