I was browsing through your excellent blog finding much food for thought when I came upon this post on gratitude which reminded me of a post I put up on our blog about feeling and expressing your gratitude physically and dancing that. It definitely puts a smile on my face and here’s a link to a video illustrates it perfectly. http://tinyurl.com/9grq5d

One of the things that I teach couples to do in my work is to be grateful to and for each other. I am humbled by how many of us struggle with this action and yet, during Thanksgiving, the energy of Gratitude increases – it is a phenomenon.

With that said, I am grateful to both of you for this post and reminder to allow gratitude as a habit in our lives. This invitation is contagious and I am holding the intention that an attitude of gratitude spreads world-wide. In-Gratitude, Darshana

Thank you for this lovely post! We can all use a reminder to practice gratitude (until it becomes a natural state). It truly does take practice and conscious awareness, for many of us. It is so uplifting when I see someone who clearly lives the Attitude of Gratitude (as Maya Angelou and others call it). I am honored and profoundly grateful to be able to say my mother is one of them and inspires me by her example.

As a career counselor (and in my life, generally), I try to remember this state of being and encourage my clients to seek and acknowledge even one thing about each of their current and past jobs and experiences for which they can feel gratitude. Even the most unpleasant work experience may teach us something; allow us to gain a skill; meet a wonderful colleague, customer or mentor; or help us learn what kind of work environment would better suit us (and we can be thankful for each of these, if not delighted with the job itself).

May we all allow gratitude to become a beautiful habit in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I love this quote:
“And while we may say grace before the Thanksgiving meal, the point of a life well lived is to live in grace as much as possible. And that can only happen when gratitude becomes you.”

We don’t have a special day dedicated to thanksgiving in Switzerland. It’s a beautiful concept from a beautiful group of people who have just made a radical shift for themselves and the entire planet, by choosing hope over fear.

So, to celebrate this day, and this tremendous leap of faith I would like to give all Americans a very special gift. The gift of recognition and acknowledgement. Thanks to all of you. Thanks to Americans of the past who forged a new way and thanks to those living now. Thanks especially to all my American friends and American mentors. To the people who inspire me, who nourish my soul, who help me with big things and small detail, and those who keep me on this planet when no-one else can. Thanks particularly to Edwina Peterson Cross, Laurene Schaerer-Lindstrom, Tomar Levine, Richard Unger, Baeth Davis, Pamelah Landers, Carolyn Myss, Tom Kenyon, Sanaya Roman and many many others who have touched my life significantly. Thanks also to those who have trusted me to look into your hands and to those just starting to walk by my side. I look forward to the adventure!

With love and gratitude,
