My Attitude of Gratitude
Thank you for those lovely photos S.J. What a lovely "gratitude" album you could compile with your obvious talent for capturing those special moments.
I have for many months now tried to implement my "attitude of gratitude" by keeping a gratitude journal. I keep it by my bed & usually before I go to sleep I revisit my day, ponder my experiences & write down my "gratitude thoughts". Some nights, if time is short I'll run through my gratitude list mentally. This has happened a bit lately, but as part of my Reiki assignment I decided to make sure that I resumed writing again in my gratitude journal. So last night I was able to enter a lovely long list of gratitude & appreciation. What a great high it was to be able to leave those thoughts & feelings with my subconscious to play with during the night whilst I slept!
I find that keeping a written journal rather than a mental journal works best for me as I'm a very visual person. I love having a permanent reminder of so many wonderful experiences to look back on, especially as it now encompasses so many months,it is a great pick me up if I find myself straying from the gratitude path!
There is nothing like seeing all those thoughts & emotions set in concrete, so to speak, to make me take pause & realise what a wonderful life experience I really am having!
It never fails to lift my spirits when I go back & reread some of my earlier entries. It is so easy sometimes to otherwise forget how many little moments in each day build towards the greater whole & just how much gratitude is to be found for each daily experience.
Whilst I have many things that I can be greatful for during each of my days the most important thing that I have learned is how greatful I am for being!
I can now look back on the canvas of my life so far & really appreciate all the downs, as well as the ups in my life that have occurred, for together they have provided the contrasts, the light & shade to all my experiences.
I had wondered a little while ago about starting up a separate "Gratitude" thread here on this forum but thought most people would probably be implementing it already in their own way. But Moxie, I will leave you here with just a few of my thoughts from last night.
I am so immensely happy and greatful for the wonderful opportunity to learn Reiki from Moxie & benefit from her wisdom & generosity.
I am truly greatful to be where I am right now & for the huge improvements that I've already made in my life & will continue to make.
I am sooooo immensely greatful for meeting all the wonderful caring & sharing people on this forum & being able to participate here. The past several weeks here have been the best in my life so far & I know that it will just continue to get better & better with you all in my life.
Love & Blessings,
