I'm writing a book about gratitude. It's called, Get Your Gratitude On! It's a short book with 12 different ways to get into the state of gratitude. I think that gratitude is one of the most powerful states of "being". The vibration of gratitude is in the same realm as pure love. When we are feeling gratitude for what we have, when we are conscious of all of the wonders in our lives that we take for granted, and when we have gratitude for everything yet to come we are sending out vibrations that will attract back all the good that we want in our lives. It's definitely a state of being to strive for.
I've been wanting to feel more grateful on a regular basis. I'm practicing the techniques in my book. One of the suggested techniques is to write a letter to someone in your life every week, telling them how much you love them, how much they mean to you or what a difference they have made in your life. I've been thinking of doing this for years and have never actually started. I always get excited when I think about it. I think about how good it will feel to tell the people I love how much they mean to me. I think about how good it will feel for the recipient to open the letter and read loving thoughts about themselves. I know it would be a positive experience all around. I've stopped myself for silly reasons like, "I should wait until the first of the year to start." Or, "Shoot, it's January 17th and I haven't started yet...oops!" And there's the basic procrastination...
Suddenly, I am struck with a brilliant and inspiring idea. I want to write a letter of gratitude every single day for a year. I want to be in the space of truly honoring the good in the people in my life and letting them know that their existence is a gift to me and to the world. I want to journal about the experience. I want to see what will happen. My intention is to make people happy and create the vibration of living in gratitude. If I can inspire someone along the way to join in...all the better! Gratitude rippling through the universe...I LOVE IT!
So, I'm starting right now. I didn't know who I was going to start with until just this minute. I'm starting with my daughter. We had a really big fight this morning. She's shut off in her room right now, not speaking to me. Sitting here, I am overwhelmed with a feeling of love for her and I want to find just the right words to tell her how much she means to me. I'll let you know how it goes!
