Attitude of Gratitude

[HarryH]

Sincere gratitude is the only attitude that always
>lifts our spirits. Being grateful for the good things in
>life can pick us up on days when we seem to be
>speeding downhill.
>
>Gratitude restores and heals because it lets us stand
>outside our own small circle of worry to view the
>bigger picture. It puts us in touch with our Higher
>Power and the wide-angle view of life. In the light
>of eternity, how important is our problem of the
>moment?
>
>Finding something to be grateful for and saying
>“thank you� gives us hope and a better
>understanding of our blessings and resources. Some
>days we may find little to be grateful for, so we start
>with small things. We start with the ability to get up
>in the morning and go to bed at night, flowers,
>sunsets, and the scent of the earth. If we are willing,
>we will always find an abundance of things to be
>grateful for.
>
>Today let me cultivate an attitude of gratitude and
>hope for my life.

oh Thank you for this post Harry!! I truly needed to read this today...something I have been learning is just because I don't "feel" grateful doesn't mean I don't have things to be grateful for. I can't rely on my feelings to be grateful, regardless of how I am feeling I DO have so many blessings in my life! And when I am feeling my worst I try and remember to write a gratitude list and most of the time I feel better pretty quick!

Tammie, you made my day. Really a great share. The blessings in my life fill my heart with gratitude and gives me a better chance at changing my attitude.
