November 20, 2007 * Volume 8, Issue 24 LIVING GRATITUDE Last week, I shared a bit about a spiritual growth workshop I recently attended. One of the participants, Sally, the four-year-old daughter of the hosts, helped me take gratitude to a whole new level! Yes, a four-year-old!!! Sally verbally expressed gratitude for the air she breathes, the trails she hikes on and each of the people she loves. She helped me to see how much I take for granted! Before I spent the weekend with Sally, I wrote in my gratitude journal almost every day. Now, I see that journal as just the beginning, perhaps my gratitude pump primer . . . Sally has prompted me to live my whole life as one great big gratitude prayer! I now thank my bed for a good night's sleep, my chair for supporting me so beautifully and my phone for connecting me to so many wonderful people. Wow, when I turn on the water, I have so much gratitude that it now takes longer to wash my face! Thank you to the water for sustaining me, thank you to the faucet and the pipes for delivering water on command, thank you to the hot water heater for warming the water that feels so good on my face, thank you to the wash cloth that brings that luscious warm water to my face, thank you for my lovely face that I get to share with the world . . . Phew, you can see how it goes . . . So: would you care to join me and Sally in this incredibly juicy, connected and present way of moving through the day?! May "Happy Thanksgiving" deeply mean something to you as you even attempt to count your infinite blessings . . .
Your privacy
