What if ... Snippets - Gratitude
What if …
You began and ended each day with an expression of gratitude for the blessings in your life? Through prayer, journaling, a phone call, whatever fit. How might that intentional ritual effect the quality of each day?
What if … you did not? What if gratitude was an infrequent blimp on the radar or it was expressed only in times traditionally recognized as times to “give thanks.” How would that lack of deep gratitude impact your life?
Here is a gentle suggestion to nurture a more grateful, more joyful you -
Take a Gratitude Walk.
Imagine taking time each day (and it doesn't have to be a lot) to be outdoors, to be in your body, to be thinking and feeling, how grateful I am!
As I write these words to you I have just arrived home from my Gratitude Walk. The beauty and sweetness of my North Carolina home and my life can so easily be missed when I do not take the time to embrace all the glorious gifts!
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
