So, you know that place deep inside that feels all gushy when you think of all the things you’ve really got going on in your life…..yeah, that’s gratitude and it’s contagious….

Check out this video called, “The Gratitude Dance.” It’ll totally put a smile on your face….

Let’s honor gratitude a little more here…

Gratefulness.org is one of my favorite websites….You can light a candle in cyberspace and send it out to the world.

So, I subscribe to a free daily service “Grateful Word of the Day” at Gratefulness.org and I read it (it comes to my inbox) every morning. It’s simple, (takes about 2 seconds) and gently guides me to focus on what I am truly grateful for….It totally sets the tone of my day…Hmmm….deep breath here….I highly recommend it.

Here are a few of my favorite grateful words of the day:

“The secret to prosperity is wanting what you have, not having what you want.” —anonymous

This always reminds me to focus on all the greatness present in my life already here!

“Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly. –Padre Pio

This quote reminds me that it’s really ok to move slowly on some days….I don’t always have to accomplish a million things to see value in my day.

“The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” — Jon Kabat-Zinn

This totally reminds me to appreciate those connections with others, even if it is smiling at a stranger on the street.

I love you Gratitude. You an eco-chic God. May you continue to penetrate our hearts and help us heal the planet…
