I have been threatening to take those who have suggested blogging up on their challenge, so here I go. Can't think of a better way to begin than with gratitude.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"></span></div><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><br />In daily life, we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">David Steindl-Rast</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" >Gratitude; it's easy, inexpensive, and feels good. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Why aren't we grateful all the time?</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Tonight, right before you go to sleep list 3 things from the day for which you are grateful. These don't need to be earth-shattering goodies. A sunny day, a good laugh, a conversation are worthy items to add to your list. Think about only these three things as you fall asleep - not what you didn't finish today or what awaits at the office tomorrow. Do this every night. Encourage your family to join in. After a couple of weeks, you will notice an up tick in your sense of well being and you may even sleep better.</span><br /><br /></div></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><div style="text-align: center;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">In the world to come each of us will be called to account for all the good things God put on the earth that we refused to enjoy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Talmud</span><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6911952428877942666-3690616564280857567?l=wellsstreetconsulting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Valeriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08987936336031395602noreply@blogger.com4
