An Attitude of Gratitude.............say what?


I have been doing empowerment work with people for many years. The one thing that really stands out to me after having met with one of my groups is; an 'attitude of gratitude' is a plus....... and will afford me many opportunities throughout my day. I have decided to make a list everyday of the "things that are working today"........... a list of the positives, not the negatives......believe me there are plenty of negatives, right? So I have begun making a list daily of the things that are working for me. So far, I am using a sticky note pad and as my lists grow......I expect that I will have to graduate to a larger piece of paper.

I have talked about this for years but today........I begin my own daily "gratitude" list. Attitude is everything, being present, and checking in are good things. Actions, even as small as this are my way of moving forward and creating a more conscious "attitude of gratitude"!

Hooray! So far..........so good...............It's a great day! What's working for you? How's your attitude?
