These 12 Twitter accounts will remind you to be grateful year-round (not just on Thanksgiving)
We don’t know about you, but we’re definitely basking in the post-Thanksgiving haze of delicious food and many, many wines. Thanksgiving is always such a nice time of year to remind us of what we’re grateful for. Unfortunately, that feeling comes with the inevitable holiday hangover.
The holiday season feels kind of like running a marathon — half way through you hit your high (Thanksgiving) and then it just gets harder and harder to slog through to the finish line that seems SO CLOSE (Christmas and New Year’s). In order to help push you through the in-between-holidays slump, here’s a list of twelve twitters to keep you #grateful and remind you of all the good things to come.
1. Neil Pasricha, author of The Book of Awesome, The Happiness Equation, and 1000 Awesome Things.
Every single person gets stuck focusing on the negative sometimes. It means you're normal. Fighting it can prolong it.
