I try to remember that the spirit that gives life to people and animals (for instance) is the same spirit that makes the trees grow and provides me with so many blessings in life. Once I stopped seeing everything in fragments, everything I saw became a little miracle. From that moment on gratitude appeared more naturally in my life. It wasn't really anything I did anymore.

TarheelBlueAngel	Posted Jun 30th, 2009 at 11:32PM I keep journals so I can look back and be reminded all the things to NOT take for granted. I also write a journal to each of my children(started for each child just after learning of my pregnancies) and to my husband(started when we were just friends...I just felt he was "the one" from the start.) so if something happens to me they will know where my heart and mind was...and in reading them maybe they will see how grateful I am for them.

LilAnnie	Posted Jul 1st, 2009 at 12:23AM I don't have a way I have learned. I either remember to be thankful or I forget to be. I should probably work on that. Its a matter of mindfullness, I think. Rated: +1Vote for this!
