I can express gratitude by using my words. 2 Reply Hot Sauce2 months agoHot SauceWell 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. 3 Reply Ose2 months agoOseTo 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. 4 Reply Holly in Ohio2 months agoHolly in OhioBeautiful ideas, Ose, thank you. 3 Reply Isha2 months agoIshatake time off to be alone with yourself and know what you want with your life 4 Reply dcdeb2 months agodcdebTolerance; truth; equanimity-All the goodies 4 Reply Linda2 months agoLindaToday 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. 4 Reply Holly in Ohio2 months agoHolly in OhioYou have a challenging family situation, Linda. Please be kind to yourself. 2 Reply Don Jones2 months agoDon JonesGratitude 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. 4 Reply Mica2 months agoMicaI emailed the Lounge’s Gratitude Day picture with the dog 🐶 🐩 🐕 to my kids and granddaughters – check it out, everyone! 🤗😘 5 Reply Lauryn2 months agoLaurynNotice everything around me.

Then do it again tomorrow and the day to follow. 6 Reply Stormy Weather2 months agoStormy WeatherGratitude 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. 10 Reply Mica2 months agoMicaMay you learn to leave that state, dear Stormy Weather ☁️ -> ⛅️ -> ☀️ 5 Reply Nelson2 months agoNelsonContinuing 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. 6 Reply Ashley2 months agoAshleyI 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. 6 Reply Ed Schulte2 months agoEd SchulteStay 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. 5 Reply Holly in Ohio2 months agoHolly in OhioHappy 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 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….. 6 Reply Katrina2 months agoKatrinaLook 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. 6 Reply Tyler Finley2 months agoTyler FinleyI 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. 6 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.
