Tuesday Gratitude Attitude *New* ~05/24/11

Happy Tuesday everyone! How anyone can watch the news and not have your heart go out to the people of Joplin, Missouri.  The town has been leveled, hospitals shut down and still the town moves on with heavy hearts but resolution to carry on.



Prayers sent out for the families and those first responders that are trying to save people and put it all back together.


It is for the 'grace of God' that more did not perish in this horrific tornado.  Yes many lives are changed for ever but the stories of heroic and survival still come out from this story.


On this day I try to encourage and remind that the word gratitude is not just a nice thing to place in your heart and soul but a must for long term health and joy.


Two weeks from today I am posting a 5 part series on this subject in it I will discuss the problem people face understanding the importance of gratitude in their life, and the understanding we need to put in regards to teaching our children so that they can teach its importance.  We also will discuss the 'putting it in play' the gratitude attitude shift and I will give you resources to 'move on from here'.  Thats in two weeks and it will start on June 07th with a preview.  Then part one on Wednesday.  I hope you stop back and visit my post as I hope you will enjoy it but also practice what you read.


The Gratitude Attitude is so important to understand why the sharing of a smile, a sincere smile, can be so important to our hurting world.


Without gratitude in ones heart the smile is somewhat hollow and with little meaning not only to the receiver of the smile but the giver that tried to make a difference in the first place.


Take a close look at what you do have in your life.


Take a moment to close your eyes and understand how grace has carried you through all of life's tribulations.


Take a notebook and share with history who and what your grateful for, document your life and make it a legacy for those you love so they can understand what a life of gratitude meant to you.


These post's our my journal and I can say that I pray and give thanks to God above for those things that are so very important in my life.


My family, the world around me and all it's beauty and most of all the ability to make a difference and send a smile with my post.


Gratitude not just a word but to me a way of understanding.


Take time, spend time with your thoughts and those you love expressing your gratitude.


Make time, the clock is ticking and one resource we can never get back is the very precious time that we all spend each and ever day.


Live, love, laugh and dream!  
Smiles to you and as always take the time to make a difference and smile! : )
Have a great day everyone.....
