“Feeling
gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a
present and not giving it.” ~ William Arthur Ward
Good
Morning!
When we get
caught up running on the treadmill of life, it is
easy to forget to count our blessings.
In her book Simple Abundance,
Sarah Ban Breathnach introduces the Gratitude Journal, a special book
for
recording what you are grateful for each day.
Using a journal to record daily gratitude can help us stay “in the
moment” and recognize the countless blessings we each have.
However, the
regular use of the Gratitude Journal is only the
first step. The next step is to give
outward thanks for our blessings. When
we let someone know how they have helped us or influenced us, not only
do we
attract more “like behavior” in our lives, we also warm that person’s
heart. We encourage them to offer
similar kindness to others. This is how
the simple act of gratitude has the capacity to change the world.
Sometimes we
forget to give thanks. We might think, “Oh, that person knows
what
she did was important.” Or we get “too
busy” to send a thank-you email, card, or phone call. When we
behave in that way, we leave the
cycle of gratitude incomplete. Perhaps
the person who offered kindness was inspired to act kindly because of
you. Your appreciation and thanks could be the
catalyst in encouraging them to repeat the behavior. Remember
that when we praise or appreciate a
behavior, a person is more likely to repeat it.
Your Turn: Who are
several people who offered you kindness this past week or that you are
grateful
for? Take a moment
to clearly thank
three people who have made a difference in your life – or even your
past
week. As you
complete your gratitude
list each day, make sure to express “thanks” to them where you can.
Today’s Affirmation:
I
have a thankful heart and express my thanks to those who impact me.
And
as always, don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
