November is for Bears with Gratitude.

Gratitude is being aware of and being thankful for the good things that happen. Take time to express thanks.
Grateful: A Love Song to the World (below) was created by musicians Patel and Nahmod, who brought together dozens of people from around the world. They were inspired by the 21-Day Gratitude Challenge, and the song is a celebration of all that is a blessing in life. After 21 days, people learn that “gratefulness” is a habit cultivated consciously and a muscle built over time. This music video, created within a week by a team of volunteers, displays all this is beautiful in our lives.
