Half a Month of Gratitude Yields 15 Gifts

Today is November 15 (2008) and I’m halfway through the month of writing a gratitude list for every day. And I’ve learned something.

Did you know that practising gratitude gives you gifts?

At least 15 of them . . .

1. Joy
2. Youth
3. Good Feelings
4. Health
5. Peace
6. People Magnet
7. Bitterness- & Resentment-Busters
8. Perfectionism Cure
9. Good Bye to Consumerism
10. Absorption to/Appreciation of the Present Moment
11. Hearts Open to Life
12. Cycle of Kindness & Generosity
13. Connection with Nature
14. Connection with God
15. Grace

To read more about these gifts pick up this book, Attitudes of Gratitude: How to Give and Receive Joy Every Day of Your Life by M.J. Ryan.

What gift(s) have you received from the practice of gratitude?
