Gratitude Discussion Group
Hi everyone! Just before Thanksgiving @michellegraffradford posted a blog called Gratitude Changes Everything. She suggested three techniques to help incorporate gratitude into our daily lives:
- Start the Day with Gratitude (before getting up think of three people you are grateful for)
- Maintain a Gratitude Journal to record times when you are grateful
- Count Blessings – not sheep! (Review the day and remember moments of gratitude)
Her blogpost was so inspiring that a lot of us decided we wanted to form a Gratitude Group to keep the attitude of gratitude going. The blogpost area is not an ideal space for a big discussion group so I am moving the discussion over here to the “Just Want to Talk” Group. Let’s use this space to share and discuss our Gratitude Journey. I’m going to suggest that we each try to take a minute from the day and post here what has made us feel thankful today. It can be as small as a stranger’s smile on the bus or as large as fulfilling a major life dream – or anywhere in between. We can also discuss how we are doing with the three techniques. Sometimes it is easier to form new habits with support from others.
Michelle's full blogpost is at the link below. You may want to review it or print it out to help get started!

I look forward to hearing from others in the Gratitude Group and to having others join us here! Thanks to those who already shared great stories. If you haven't yet, what gratitude will you share today?!

@debbraw you have some very caring friends, that’s wonderful. I don’t think many people would put themselves out that much.

2 Reactions@debbraw How did your operation go .? You sound good in your post. Yes tapping is 2 parts it is Chinese acupressure and phychology ? We have Meridians in out system and these you tap on at the same time saying what your problem For instance first you tap 3 times on the side of your hand sayin Your problem then but I still and completely love myself. Then each other part eyebrow side of eye under eye under nose in crack of chin color bone under arm and top of head there is a better explanation on Tapping solution.com since you have time look it up also there are You Tube videos Nick Ortner Dr Bob Procter and others I tapped on my back telling back I was sorry I hurt it and didn't take care of it then some other stuff I think you,ll find it helpful .

2 ReactionsToday I am grateful that I am feeling better after a short bout with a stomach bug. I can return to work today in the cold and the wind. Maybe I'm not so grateful after all? 😉
Blessings,
JoDee
