Gratitude for Today

Every day when I share my Gratitude Journal I begin to get the following song stuck in my head.......

Thankfulness Song (Album Version) by VeggieTales (Veggie Tunes)

The Thankfulness Song

Annie: I thank God for this day,
For the sun in the sky,
For my mom and my dad,
For my piece of apple pie!
For our home on the ground
For His love that's all around
That's why I say thanks everyday!

Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!
I'm glad for what I have,
That's an easy way to start!
For the love that He shares,
'Cuz He listens to my prayers,
That's why I say thanks everyday!

Junior: Thank you Dad for our day,
For our trip to the mall,
For the time just with me,
For my big red bouncy ball!
For the fun that we had,
I'm so happy you're my dad,
That's why I say thanks everyday!

Junior's Dad: Because a thankful heart is a happy heart!

Junior: I'm glad for what I have,
That's an easy way to start!

Junior's Dad: For a God who really cares

Junior: And He listens to our prayers,
That's why I say thanks everyday!

Both: That's why we say thanks everyday!

Gratitude is a difficult discipline to acquire. However can be done even when we do not feel like doing it. When we cant make it - fake it. Today was a hard day but it is nice to be able to see the little pieces of good - even when it is forced.

Todays Gratitude Journal

WOW! Where do I begin? It was such a rough day today. I was woken up by my children before I was ready to get up. they did not want to listen to me at breakfast, and I was still waiting for my coffee!

Well I never want to get up in the morning, I would like to slumber all morning long. But I cannot do that........

Okay I am working on establishing an attitude of gratitude. I don't think that the above is what they meant (oops)

1. I am grateful to have a wonderful bed to sleep in
   
   
2. I am grateful that I have beautiful children
   
   
3. I am grateful to have luxuries like coffee available to me
   
   
4. I am grateful that I have a wonderful husband that allows me to stay up late to write
   
   
5. I am grateful for my ability to write
   
   
   

That was not too hard I guess.. a little awkward but I suppose I will get used to it. Please comment I would like to know what you think. Thank you!

An Attitude of Gratitude - My Gratitude Journal

This is a common activity to assist in increasing your level of happiness and your sense of well-being. I have read and experienced at times that when suffering from depression it can be almost impossible to see any good in life at all. That is why a Gratitude Journal is such an important practice for recovery.

Just write down 5 things that are good in your life. Start each one with:

• "I am grateful for..."
• I am grateful because..."

Gratitude - the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.

I have been told that this type of journal has a powerful soothing effect for the person writing. This is why I am going to give it a try. Please feel free to join in with me and let me know how your doing! I would love to share an attitude of gratitude with you.

"When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and the joy of living." --Chief Tecumseh
