Practice Gratitude

Thanks for Reading

 Doesn’t that feel good? For me and for you, it does. You see, gratitude saves us in so many ways, lifting us up emotionally and allowing us to become aware of and appreciate what we have. When you are grateful, you generally feel better. You shift the paradigm.

Doubtful? Try this: when you waken, before anything else, say thank you for another day. Speak to god, the day itself, your higher power, the universe, to whomever you pray. But say it, out loud if you can and whether you’re looking forward to it or not.

 Then, when you place your feet softly on the floor, say thanks for the support. Then say thanks for your feet. Brushing your teeth, thanks for them. Washing your face, thanks for the skin. Thanks for the wrinkles that remind us of smiles and of wisdom gained. Drinking a glass of water before all else, (you do that right? First thing?) say thanks for the water because with it we have everything and without it, we have nothing. Say thanks for the birds and the flowers and even say thanks for the problems, its how we figure things out.

Say thank you for all of it and see if you don’t feel better, happier.

It’s a gift to be alive.

Let’s be grateful.
