Daily Question, October 7

What would gratefulness do?

  • Jill R

    Gratefulness would/does help me to stop and feel.

  • KC

    show up, connect with the full bodied heart and soul of love, do and be her imperfect human best as she feels called, supported, companioned and challenged to be…

    when, as she feels disconnected – Pause ….show up, commit, surrender, reconnect ….

    When / as ready, willing or able, begin again …

  • Carla

    the gratitude allows us to move away from a position of “victim” and “controller” to have an acceptance, that allows us to enjoy the present and live it happily!!

  • Sarah

    I agree with all of these beautiful responses.
    Gratefulness brings us back to the present moments / gifts

  • Lioness

    It would give a new perspective.

  • Present Moment

    Open my heart, my eyes, my hands and allow me to do what I could not do for myself

  • Wiltrud

    Isn’t it wonderful how a smile caused by gratefulness can turn your day around?

  • Mica

    Gratefulness is making me see people more compassionately – e.g., those in my line dance class who have bodies that seem odd to me. If I view myself as being someone who might have that body, I feel close to these fellow line dancers and lose my critical eye

  • Linda

    Gratefulness has made my recovery from a broken hip and subsequent surgery one of peace and acceptance. I am deeply grateful to all who helped me through this time and it indeed has made my recovery faster.

    Gratefulness doesn't always change my situation but it does change my attitude and viewpoint. Gratefulness helps me to see things in a positive way and to value my life situation. I have noticed by being grateful, it opens the way to a better way of life. For example, I was grateful for living in a mobile home park, despite it not being the best situation for me. Then, in a miraculous way, I was able to move into a nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Gratefulness isn't about accepting the neg...

    For example, I was grateful for living in a mobile home park, despite it not being the best situation for me. Then, in a miraculous way, I was able to move into a nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Gratefulness isn’t about accepting the negativity but appreciating the positivity (even in a difficult and negative environment) which opens the way for God’s guidance, wisdom and lovingkindness.

  • Sarah

    Gratefulness gives me hope as a human being. Orienting myself this way makes it all seem ok no matter what is going on.

  • GCharlotte

    Gratefulness removes the barriers of myself being hard to life’s trials. With gratefulness I may move out of the past and live in the present enjoying the moments. There is hope.

  • Tom

    Gratefulness when cultivated in a deliberate way (journaling, meditating, practicing compassion for others and self-compassion) would reveal the innate goodness and love that is in all living things. Gratefulness would bring about, and reveal the beauty and tenderness in each of us and for each of us.

  • Michele

    Gratefulness brings me inner peace and keeps me grounded. It is humbling. As Carla said it brings smiles:)

  • Antoinette

    Gratefulness would be open to the present moment cultivating joyous efforts.

  • Carla

    For starters, gratefulness would bring smiles to numerous faces having a cascading effect of more smiles, touches, hugs & gratitude given forward. ?

  • Kevin

    What would gratefulness do? A lot. Everything. Gratefulness is a gift we give to ourselves and others.
