KC1 year agoKCWhen I express gratitude rather than simply feel it, it nurtures, deepens and reinforces relationships and helps them grow. 3 Reply Ose1 year agoOseit connects us on heart´s level with or without expression, if it is a true feeling; expressing gratitude to one another is a precious gift given, igniting light inside and around and is offering joy. It is an expression of gratitude for your being here with me and my being here with you and immediately conveys itself to others around, who are touched by it also. Expressed, it reconfirms our being unseparated from each other while feeling the echoes of His all-encompassing love. 6 Reply Ed Schulte1 year agoEd SchulteWith gratitude, i whole heartedly agree. 4 Reply Ose1 year agoOseWith gratitude also, I saw it later ? 3 Reply Ed Schulte1 year agoEd SchulteRE: What happens when I express gratitude rather than simply feel it?

When we express our gratitude out loud the words have the power to transform our lives. I find that gratitude expressed aloud has transforming capability for me in that moment, shifting my soul from a selfish posture of just wanting more and more to a place of contentment and recognition of the abundance of blessings that surround my life. 4 Reply GCharlotte1 year agoGCharlotteWhen I express gratitude there is a great reciprocation between us that furthers the feeling of gratitude resulting in joy. Gratitude was the moment I gave birth; it was fireworks of jubilee. 3 Reply TofuLove1 year agoTofuLoveI love expressing gratitude so that people understand the beautiful in themselves and also in the world! 4 Reply Butterfly1 year agoButterflyExpressing gratitude to someone makes them feel valued and happy so in turn they will feel gratitude and the world becomes a kinder place ? 4 Reply Linda1 year agoLindaIt perfectly ripples out into the universe. 3 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceIf I feel gratitude, it might benefit me and make me feel better about life, but it won't necessarily help other people. If I express gratitude by saying things like, "Thank you so much!" or "Wow! Look at how beautiful that nest is!" others benefit as well because they know that their own efforts are appreciated and become more aware of things they can be grateful for without anyone nagging them with annoying phrases like, "But think about all the things you have to be grateful for!"

Thanks so much for sharing 🙂 2 Reply Tom1 year agoTomLike others have said, when I express gratitude it opens up space for a deeper connection to others. Often when gratitude is expressed it is acknowledged by the briefest connection…a trace of the Devine that winds its way to and through each of us. 4 Reply Rena Barker1 year agoRena BarkerBe able to connect more with others. 8 Reply Present Moment1 year agoPresent MomentLike love, it expands and nurtures all who hear of it 5 Reply Carla1 year agoCarlaThe Gratitude becomes generative & ripples forward like a rock gently skimmed in a body of water. 5 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleFeeling gratitude is personal. Expressing gratitude is sharing with others which can then spread happiness. This website is an excellent source of expressing gratitude:) 5 Reply Wiltrud1 year agoWiltrudThe person I talk to smiles :)) Writing an entry in e.g. the gratitude journal is like a spiritual harvest you can feast on on a cloudy day. 4 Reply Sarah1 year agoSarahIt becomes even stronger! ? 3 Reply Anneclaire1 year agoAnneclaireA spark is struck, a door opens! It deepens my relationship with the giver … 7 Reply Christina1 year agoChristinaI think feeling it IS expressing it. Sometimes I feel it so profoundly (strangely enough often after I’ve finished my weekly grocery shopping!) that “my heart speaks.” It is such a profound and pervasive feeling that I think it IS expressing it–to the One to whom I am grateful most of all for this amazing life! 4 Reply Ed Schulte1 year agoEd SchulteWell said! For a moment I felt very disappointed with the question. You , as they say in english “hit the nail on the head”. Let the light of gratitude ( the “my heart speaks” light ) shine. It is dearly needed in western culture, a place where spoken / written / words have little meaning any more 2 Reply Christina1 year agoChristinaThank you Ed! 2 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinGratitude spreads and grows! 5 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
