Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />David--A gratitude book is another great idea for keeping us focused on gratitude. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />BM--It's all relative, isn't it? If you are better off now in terms of happiness than you were in the past, then you are moving in the direction of joy. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will be back.<br /><br />Patricia--I'm sorry of a comment got lost. I like your analogy to a vitamin deficiency. Stop signs are a great reminder to pause and do a quick spiritual practice or physical exercise! Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Cathie--Happy Birthday to Judy! I loved your list. Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Ayo--I'm fine, thanks. Being grateful for life is a great way to start a gratitude list. Thanks for stopping by. And for your comment.<br /><br />Angela--Wow, this is a great example of being grateful for something that initially seemed like a negative event!

I'm grateful for the additional time as I'll now be able to work on other projects as he re-edits the correct version. I'm grateful that my book will be coming out later now, as I'm sure the Universe has a plan as to why this was supposed to happen. I'm sure all is going to work out better than expected due to these unexpected glitches.<br />Thanks Galen, I really do feel better.<br /><br />IAngela Artemis/Powered by Intuitionhttp://www.poweredbyintuition.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-25871634429173836682011-09-04T12:01:18.044-07:002011-09-04T12:01:18.044-07:00Hello Galen

Happy places are sporadic for me, I'm trying to hold on to them and to keep them up in the face of everything that's happening. But still I think I am better off today than I was a couple of years back and beyond.<br /><br />I'll be back.

I am thankful I am going to the beach in 24 days. I am thankful for the gift that I know will eventually come from two close and extremely stressful situations... I am sure I will write on gratitude soon and refer back to your blog. Thx so much.

In much of my recovery reading they suggest keeping a gratitude journal....each nigh write down 5 things you are grateful. I have done this for years. Sometimes it is difficult to find things and I write down something as simple as I'm grateful to be able to brush my teeth...but it does get everything into perspective. There is a quote by Cicero that goes something like this "gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues.....but the parent of all others". I love that quote.<br /><br />xo<br /><br />JoMy Grama's Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114089036939629527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302107831896769514.post-68307397766833196262011-09-02T07:12:53.866-07:002011-09-02T07:12:53.866-07:00In the midst of our pampered lives (compared to mo...In the midst of our pampered lives (compared to most of the rest of the world), stopping to be grateful is tremendously important.
