Attitude of Gratitude

Quote: “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.” –Melody Beattie

Song: Little Things by India Irie

Having an attitude of gratitude my New Years Resolution.  Its been said that if you give then you shall receive.  I feel that by nature I am a giver.  With that said, in the heat of the moment or when I seem to be on a downward spiral.  I often feel like I have nothing to give, so what’s the purpose.  How can you expect to be open to receive the blessings that await you if you aren’t grateful for the blessings you are currently receiving.  You have one life to live.   If you are blessed enough to take on this project you are already one step ahead of the game and for that alone you should be grateful.  You have the opportunity to live and see this day.  A day full of glory, progress, and change.

So your journal entry will be to make a gratitude list.  Take as many pages as you like.  Even writing on the back of the pages if you need more space.  For some of us our list may be 5 things but others 25.  Dig deep.  This journal entry has no end.  Keep adding to it as you grow and learn.  Always reflect back to it as time passes.   Now lets list our “Attitude for Gratitude” playlist.  Think about songs that inspire you to appreciate not only the world and people around you; but yourself also.  List the songs and why you feel the way you do when you are listening to them.  Listen to your playlist and recite your gratitude list at least once a week preferably on a Sunday so you can start the week off right.
