Thanksgiving: Your Gratitude List
Here comes another Thanksgiving, and with it, lots of talk and writing about being grateful.
This is a good thing, that should be carried in our hearts and minds all year long.
A gratitude list
"He's makin' a list and checkin' it twice...."
Wait a minute, isn't that a Christmas song, and we are talking about Thanksgiving, right?
Right on both counts.
Here's my notion - we all know how to talk the talk about Thanksgiving, gratitude and abundance.
I'm interested in moving you and me from talking the talk to walking the walk.
One way to move from talking the talk to walking the walk is to put it on paper in the form of a gratitude list.
What's on your list?
So get out a sheet of paper or get ready to type on your keyboard.
Think back over the last year. For what are you grateful? What are the things you have to be thankful for? To whom are you grateful?
I want to invite you to actually do three things:
Thing 1: Make the list.
Thing 2: Keep it with you.
Thing 3: Read it at least three times a day. Once when you get up, once as you go to bed, and one other time of your choosing during the day.
Watch your mood and perspective change.
