SKOKIE, IL — This November, Patch is celebrating "30 Days of Gratitude," stories about living with gratitude — in simple terms, a deliberate choice to see the goodness and joy in your life and to wish the same for your neighbors.
Living with gratitude is a matter of continually counting one's blessings while at the same time recognizing that the source of goodness in one's life is other people.
Earlier this month, we asked Illinois residents to share who or what they were grateful for. Here's what your neighbors in Skokie had to say:

"My gratitude goes out to the Village Engineering Department, specifically Ms. Nadia Scott and Samantha Maximilian. They were able to handle our request for a No Parking Sign in less than one week. They handled what was a dangerous situation for our building. Thanks again for handling this so expeditiously."

"I am grateful to my Tribe members Mary Lynch, Carmen Wynn, Teresa Mcnally, Donna Mazuer, and Damian all from either Skokie, Niles, and Evanston for being there for me and my family during some trying times. And for being good neighbors all around making living in Skokie a positive neighborly experience. We all fellowship and help one another out and it means the world to me. Love you all warm hugs!"
