Dear Eric, this is so beautiful and touching! Thank-you! This time is very challenging, but I believe it is a blessing to be here on earth at this historic time. May humanity respond to this time in a way that the future generations will say thank-you to us and say “what a wonderful world”. Life is such a precious gift! I send love and blessings to all 💖🌻
Dear Lisa, what an inspirational essay! Thank-you! Learning to be grateful has completely transformed my life. Gratefulness has given me a “new pair of eyes” and how I have come to love life! Your essay made me think of Joel Goldsmith, who said, “Life only becomes beautiful, when the struggle is over”. Peace, love and blessings to all 🕊🌻💖
Very insightful and helpful article, thank you! I had not communicated with my brother and his wife for many years, because of very hurtful things that had been said to me and my parents. This Thich Nhat Hahn quote helped me tremendously in being able to reach out to my brother and his wife. “When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help”. My relationsip with my b...

My heart is so filled with love right now. 💖 Blessings and peace to all 🕊🦋
What a treasure this is!!! It brings tears to my eyes to watch these videos. THANK-YOU for sharing this!!! I look forward to watching the videos every day and I will share Nature 365 with others. Again, thank-you!!! May God’s peace be with us all.🕊
Jennifer, your essay resonated with me. I take a walk outdoors every day and it is so healing to be out in Nature. I stop and look at the buds on the trees getting bigger each day, watching the daffodils grow from little shoots to opening their beautiful faces, seeing the birds flying through the air or sitting quietly on branches, etc. A sense of peace comes over me and I think, everything is perfect, all is well. I say “Thank-you God for this beautiful day, this beautiful world, this...

Dear Lucas, thank-you from my heart for sharing this most beautiful, inspiring and encouraging essay! I love the line, “What we accomplish in this moment will matter for generations to come”. Dear Lucas your essay has started my day on such a positive and uplifting note. Thank-you!!! Bless you. Love to all💖🌻
Dear Katie, thank-you so much for sharing your story! In my own life, having learned to live gratefully has SO profoundly transformed my life! I have come to love and appreciate life SO much! As I am writing this, my heart is filled with such love and joy! I want to say that gratefulness.org has been a huge part in my learning to live gratefully. Thank-you Katie! Thank-you gratefulness.org! Thank-you God!!! Love and blessings to all 🌻
Alex, thank-you so much for sharing these helpful reminders. My best practices are: being grateful for everything, listening to healing, soothing music, taking a walk outdoors, only spending a very small amount of time listening to and reading the news, connecting with friends and family, having quiet time, helping others and receiving inspiration from a few internet sites. I have a sense of peace much of the time that I know I could not humanly bring about. Thank-you, God!!! May the world li...

Gratefulness is my rock! When I go in the stores I focus on all that is available to purchase, not on what isn’t available; how blessed I am to have family checking in with me each day to make sure I am ok; the electricity, heat, etc. is working perfectly; I am able to shop for people who need help; I am able to get out and go for a walk; offer smiles freely; the list is endless.

Gratefulness is my rock! When I go in the stores I focus on all that is available to purchase, not on what isn’t available; how blessed I am to have family checking in with me each day to make sure I am ok; the electricity, heat, etc. is working perfectly; I am able to shop for people who need help; I am able to get out and go for a walk; offer smiles freely; the list is endless. There is so much inspiration shared on Internet sites, such as this one. Gratefulness helps keep me centered, positive and peaceful. Yes, this time is so very challenging and I do have times of fear, anxiety, but I have this deep sense of knowing all will be well. I realize “of my human self alone I can do nothing” and there is an invisible Presence guiding us. Right now my heart is so filled with love and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be on earth at this time. Blessings, peace and love to all🕊💖
Dear Gratefulness Team, thank-you for offering and sharing this most uplifting, inspiring and encouraging message! It is so needed right now! This time offers us so many opportunities. Life is such a precious gift! Marianne Williamson said, “The Miracle often lies outside our comfort zone”. Peace, love and blessings to all, Sheila 🕊🦋🌷
Dear Paul, what a beautiful essay! This is very timely for me, I am reading the book, “The Hidden Life of Trees”. The wonder of Nature leaves one in awe! Yes, everyone and everything is interconnected. I love the prayer you said to St. Therese of Lisieux! Your wife was right in telling you to share your story, this has been very helpful to me. Blessings to you and all your family, Paul. Peace, Sheila 🕊🍂
Eric, this is SO beautiful and inspirational!!! I have no words to express how deeply this has impacted me. It brought to mind something I once read, ‘Thank-you God for this beautiful life and forgive me if I do not love it enough’. You have so uplifted and encouraged me. Thank-you from my heart! Bless you, Eric and your dear mother. Peace and love, Sheila 🕊
This Normal Day practice has been SO beneficial in helping me to treasure and savor each precious moment and be more present and attuned to all the gifts given to us. I have just re-read again parts of your current posted blog, “This love poem living through you”. Who knew a heart could hold so much love!

God bless you.🕊🌻💖
In all honesty, often when I am with someone, I am not fully present with them. My judgments, labels, thoughts, etc. about that person get in the way. I will truly work on this practice today. I am grateful for this practice, it is very helpful to me! Thank-you! Peace and blessings to all 🕊🌷💕
Thank-you so much for your very kind reply, Jay! I just finished listening to the song, “What a Wonderful World”. Oh, it is a wonderful world! Blessings to you, Jay.🕊
Jennifer, thank you so much for your kind reply! It truly touched my heart.💖 Blessings to you, also and I will joyfully remember you when I am out in nature.🦋
Patjos, I hope whatever you make turns out delicious! It has to be good with chocolate in it!😊 Have a safe and peaceful day.🦋
Dear Anna, you say you are “at home doing nothing”. I am retired and also at home. I believe by us sending out positive energy to the world and staying centered and at peace in ourselves as much as we can, we are doing a great service to our world. May we shine a light on the darkness of our world. God bless you, dear Anna.🕊🌻
Drew, I take a walk outdoors everyday, weather permitting. It is very healing to be out in Nature! It is so true that the best things in life are free! Bless you, Drew.😊🌳
Dear Kristi, thank-you so much for your very kind reply! It touched my heart.💖 May God’s peace be with us all.🕊
