Giving Thanks

Posted by Michelle Moquin on November 27th, 2008

In America, today is the day for expressing what we are thankful for in life…it is a day for giving thanks to all that you feel grateful for. I like Thanksgiving because it is a celebration of giving thanks, and if one can step into the true meaning, it can be a very moving experience.  It can remind us just how blessed we are and in today’s state, I think that we as Americans need to realize the abundance that we have, and a reminder is in order. And if the true meaning of giving thanks is honored today, it gives me hope that the daily practice of giving gratitude will become a habit.

I have mentioned that I used to send out ‘Weekly Gratitude’ to my friends and family. Unfortunately, as much as the ‘receivers’ and I enjoyed it, I had to give it up. But it does not mean that I don’t tell or show my friends and family how grateful I am that they are in my life. 

It was also a habit of mine to start my morning writing down 5 things that I am grateful for. It always uplifted me to do this especially when I felt that I didn’t ‘have’ enough in my life or I wanted something more to happen. To me just feeling grateful for things was not enough…to see the gratitude on paper is powerful. If you have ever written down goals before, you know what I mean by the power of the written word.

I don’t write in my ‘gratitude journal’ every day like I used to, but today is a reminder that I want to be that diligent with it again. I saw results in the writing of my daily gratitude, and I saw an attitude change in myself, that not only affected myself, but those around me.  We all know how energy spreads and can be contagious and uplifting to others and ourselves. Why not express your gratitude and have it spread like wild fire? 

And the wonderful news is that you don’t have to be an American celebrating Thanksgiving…  Giving thanks is worldwide :).

Today I am thankful for….

…the love that I feel from my husband, my family and my friends.( Lucy too :)

…how resourceful and adaptable I can be with change. And still laugh in the midst of it all!

…the freedom to choose how I want to live my life.

…all of my experiences in life that have added to the totality of who I am.

…my blog.  A venue to speak my mind and express myself to all of you out there, and a place for you, my readers, to do the same. The growth that I have experienced and the people that I have met have had a profound effect on me. 

I am so grateful.

************ 

Hey ZL:  Oh…pig out and enjoy yourself! :)

Gleia:  So do I; I love bananas.

Hi Sheila:  Thanks for your comment. I so appreciate your candidness. It’s hard to imagine a woman with your smarts in the shadow of your man. Don’t think that I haven’t been there before; I have. I was just lucky enough to see the light early.  I’m delighted that you have chosen to do the same.

Readers: How will you express your gratitude today and for the rest of your life?  Share – blog me. 

 

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

    hi mischa, ok I’ll pig out bc you gave the order : )

    Sheila, I was alternately sad and glad that you could relate. It is amazing to me now what great lengths I went to to hide that which was not workng and I’m known as a strong personality/woman sigh what can I say?

    I am very grateful today that mother in law said some very kind words which I certainly was not expecting she is thrilled I agreed to show also.

    I’ve got a list of things I’m thankful and grateful for – maybe when I’m not on iPhone I can name a few : )

    Ciao, Zen Lill
