And I say according to some sources because sometimes these \"world\" and \"international\" days depend on who you\u00b4re talking to... For example, the \"International Book Day\" we Spaniards celebrate on April 23rd doesn\u00b4t coincide with the \"World Book Day\" that\u00b4s celebrated in some of the English-speaking countries, which falls on the first Thursday in March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And from reading the internet, I gather that <strong>Gratitude Day<\/strong>, which is today, should not be confused with <strong>Than-You-Day<\/strong>, which is January 11th... I\u00b4m not a hundred per cent sure of the difference between the two, but, to me, gratitude is more about appreciating all the good things we have, as well as feeling happy and generally thankful for them, while \"thank you\" refers to a much more tangible action, something we say to specific people because of the positive impact they\u00b4ve had on our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In any case, the way I see it is that <strong>any day is a good day for us to take a moment, do a bit of reflection and be thankful<\/strong> (both in general and in particular) <strong>for what we have and what happens to us in this life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"507\" data-attachment-id=\"7780\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/img_20250423_105725\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?fit=4000%2C3000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4000,3000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.75&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;AC2003&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1745405844&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.745&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;125&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00030193236714976&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_20250423_105725\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?fit=676%2C507&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=676%2C507&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Outside view of the Hall of the Ambassadors, in the Alhambra, in Granada, Spain\" class=\"wp-image-7780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=676%2C507&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/binarywords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_20250423_105725.jpg?w=1352&amp;ssl=1 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Photo from our visit to the Alhambra, in Granada, one of the places we were fortunate enough to go and see this year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gratitude is one of the recurring topics in this blog.
