Think Thanks

To practice gratitude, you only need to sit and think....and then say thanks. 

It's so easy.

You don't need to go buy a special journal or listen to new age music or watch a DVD or read a book before you can get started.

Just sit....and think.

There's so much to be thankful for. Think. And then say thanks.

That's it. 

Thanks.

Here is my gratitude practice from today:


With all my heart, thank you for this breath, this life, this chance to do - anything. Thank you for the ability to love and be loved. Thank you that I exist in you and you in me. Thank you for grace and forgiveness. Thank you for healing and the time to heal. Thank you for teaching me that pain doesn't last forever and that being hurt isn't from intention but mistake.

Thank you for allowing me the miracle of sight so that I can see everything you made for me. Thank you for allowing me the miracle of hearing so I can hear your words, love, and music in others and in nature. Thank you for the feeling of touch so that I can feel love transferred. Thank you for allowing me to taste the gifts you provide to keep me alive. Thank you for the gift of smell - to remember nature and humanity and to give access to memories.

Thank you for this pen in my hand and the paper under it.

Thank you for allowing me a mind, a heart, a body, and a soul. Thank you for allowing me a tiny space. I look at everything around me and I can't even understand it or believe it. I don't want it to end and I thank you for letting me visit.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
