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,
Sharyn

to be a part of your life and to have this wonderful opportunity to hear you share your attitude of gratitude. Reading posts like yours brings joy to my heart and seeing pictures posted by S.J brought tears to my eyes as well. We are truly living wonderful lives and having found one another and been given this time to work together is truly a blessing.
) to do what it has to do while ur asleep as u described it ..
.. just this morning - and before reading ur post - i was contemplating about my gratitude attitude .. and i was thinking about what is the best time of the day to have my concentrated session of gratitude that would affect my whole day ... now im capturing ur idea and implementing it from tonight onwards 



I mentioned it just in passing in an email about something else, but oh boy! it was SO painful I wished i had just stayed UP!. Now, it hardly is sore at all and Moxie mailed me to say she sent me Reiki, I am so relieved, thank you hun it has really helped me.
I appreciate you took time out of your busy to think of me and send it! Big warm hugs back at you.
