2. Add some items to represent the elements (a feather for air, a leaf for earth, a candle for fire, a seashell for water). Be creative in your choices. The altar itself can symbolize the element of ether or spirit.

3. Write a note of gratitude or add a photo of someone or something for which you are thankful.
