    I can serve peace by listening first and judging later. I can express gratitude by using my words.

    Well honestly, it’s small because I have a lot of work to do, but perhaps I can make a post on Facebook related to gratitude and peace-perhaps something about peace with others or gratitude for the amazing world we live in.

    To perceive and listen carefully to someones pain and fear and do what I can to help; to stop and to listen to the musician in the street who plays the violin so soulfully for all who pass by, honoring his gift through listening with all my heart and giving some money; picking up the bigger or smaller pieces of paper or other rubbish while walking joyfully and full of gratitude in some rare beautiful nature so that the next one may be as immersed in its overwhelming beauty as well.

    take time off to be alone with yourself and know what you want with your life

    Tolerance; truth; equanimity-All the goodies

    Today is difficult as a relative who leans far-right (as in tipped over) is creating havoc in the family. It is so easy to get riled up. Thank you for the reminder to walk in peace.

  • Don Jones

    Gratitude and Grace often walk shoulder to shoulder. Grace cannot be sought as it is unmerited, but gratitude is something I can embody which I feel provides an openness and an atmosphere for acceptance no matter what is showing up in this life.

    I emailed the Lounge’s Gratitude Day picture with the dog 🐶 🐩 🐕 to my kids and granddaughters – check it out, everyone! 🤗😘

  • Lauryn

    Notice everything around me. Be at peace with my life and with myself. Be the best person I can be today.

  • pkr

    Be kind in all I do today. Apply cheerfulness to everything & constantly give thanks for all. Thank you to gratefulness.org for this site & all the good it shares. 🙏❤️🙏

  • Chester

    Work to fully see, appreciate and humbly engage in the work of the day and in interactions with those around me. Then do it again tomorrow and the day to follow.

    Gratitude has recently been very difficult for me. I have spent so much time in a state of envy and a war within myself. To express gratitude and serve peace, I can begin with what I feel inside towards myself and others. Listen to other peoples pain and joys and learn to spread positivity in a world that really needs it.

    • Mica

      May you learn to leave that state, dear Stormy Weather ☁️ -> ⛅️ -> ☀️

    Continuing what I’ve been doing everyday. Appreciating everything. Practicing kindness. Staying present. I’m listening to the audiobook “Wake Up Grateful” right now by Kristi Nelson, the organization’s exec director. It’s really beautiful. Every chapter has action steps. Simply starting your morning and saying thank you for waking up is already acknowledging the miracle of life. I’m practicing that. Heightening my awareness of things I’ve taken for granted, and saying thank you.

    I can express gratitude for nearly everything. If I am honest, there is very little in my life that is more than minor inconvenience. I can be mindful of both expressing and taking time to really sit with the gratitude. Peace, I feel, will then be more clear within and surrounding me, and I can express this to and encourage this in those around me. I hope to teach my children these practices as they grow, so it is a cornerstone of their lives.

  • Ed Schulte

    Stay vigilant, stay charged with Mind Vitality so as to be able to respond from heart and Soul , NOT distracted by the fallen Ones and their tricks. And to aways know ‘Peace’ as a state with a direct opposite here in the dualistic world, that opposite is Stagnation. So again Stay vigilant.

    Happy day, everyone. Today I will try to feel at peace with myself. Peace begins here. I am grateful for my family, and I hope to model peace and gratitude for my children who are now very young adults and finding their way. They are the first ripple outward of peace. There are children in the neighborhood, to some of which I am an almost-aunt. It takes a community to raise a child. I wish to show the children peace, to love themselves, and tolerance (or better, love) of others. Toda...

    Happy day, everyone.

    Today I will try to feel at peace with myself. Peace begins here.

    I am grateful for my family, and I hope to model peace and gratitude for my children who are now very young adults and finding their way. They are the first ripple outward of peace.

    There are children in the neighborhood, to some of which I am an almost-aunt. It takes a community to raise a child. I wish to show the children peace, to love themselves, and tolerance (or better, love) of others.

    Today I will remember to be grateful throughout the day.

    Wow…as always, so many good answers! I will do my best to be at peace with everyone I meet today, even my neighbor who hates me. I will offer peace to her once more through my actions. It is a little thing, but can make a difference. And I think I will sign up for the 6 week course being offered on this site…..

  • Katrina

    Look at and listen to the world through a lens and filter of gratitude and peace. When I interpret and understand life through these lens/filters, I tend to live and respond that way as well.

  • Tyler Finley

    I can send a smile of gratitude to nature and share inviting smiles with strangers. I can thank my students for sharing their stories and thank myself when I am vulnerable and kind.
