I am about to do some schoolwork, so what I do next will, God-willing, allow me to think deeply about my beliefs and values and to adjust them as necessary. 2 Reply Pollyanna Gladwell1 year agoPollyanna GladwellThe answer for me lies in the noun in today’s question and it is offering me MOMENTUM. The more I practice grateful living, the more attentive I become and so I notice more to be grateful for. Joy! 2 Reply Dawn Noel1 year agoDawn NoelI’m reminded of Rumi’s poem, “The Guest House”… This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all!

This moment is beautiful. Thank you, powers that be. 3 Reply Rachel1 year agoRachelI can’t help but think this is a kind offering, a gentle nudge asking me to look at the world with clear eyes.

How can I participate in this reckoning so that this nudge isn’t followed by something more forceful? 2 Reply Judi1 year agoJudiMy core of calm and trust reigns over my fear of the unknown. 2 Reply Sandra Sperry1 year agoSandra SperryCentering peace amidst chaos 2 Reply Linda1 year agoLindaAn appreciation of good health. 2 Reply Cindy Lee1 year agoCindy LeeQuiet time to ponder and appreciate the beauty and freshness of the morning sky. 1 Reply Melissa1 year agoMelissaThis moment gives me gratefulness for being able to start a new day with health and courage to be alive. 2 Reply slawrence1 year agoslawrenceThis moment offers the opportunity to choose gratitude instead of self-pity, joy instead of anger, peace instead of sorrow. 2 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.
