Around Thanksgiving people countdown what they&#8217;re thankful for on Facebook, at the Thanksgiving dinner table they recount what they&#8217;re thankful for, or at the least take a moment count their blessings.  Perhaps during Christmas while making charitable donation people spare a thought of gratitude that they&#8217;re not the ones in need this holiday season.  Yet I would guess that&#8217;s the extent of gratitude the average person or family shares in a year.<\/p>\n<p>What if there are was a way to exercise your gratitude muscles on a daily basis?  Enter The Grateful Table: Blessing, Prayers and Graces for the Daily Mealby Brenda Knight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/grateful-table-cover.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/themagicalbuffet.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/grateful-table-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"191\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9590\" \/><\/a>Brenda Knight is on a mission to bring more happiness, more joy, and more gratitude to people&#8217;s lives.  With her book, The Grateful Table, each day you&#8217;ll find a different quote from a wide variety of people, ranging from Neil Gaiman to Elizabeth Edwards and Ray Bradbury to Saint Issac of Ninevah.  The author hopes you&#8217;ll gather around the table and share these daily thoughts until you start to feel that gratefulness every day. <\/p>\n<p>Now as you know, with all things like this, I always check out my birthday for the example to share.  So May 29th is Thank you for the reflection of Your Smile in all we see.,\u009c Kenneth Kurtz.<\/p>\n<p>Who is Kenneth Kurtz?  Honestly, I&#8217;ve got no clue.  I emailed a couple of publicists, they had no clue.  Googled Kenneth Kurtz, got a handful of results, none of them seemed right.  So dear Magical Buffet readers, if you know who Kenneth Kurtz is, let all of us know in the comments!<\/p>\n<p>Until then, perhaps you should consider The Grateful Table.  A beautiful little book to help you be thankful all year round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a way to exercise your gratitude muscles daily?
