Gratitude

Gratitude: My First Post to My Joy In Health Weblog

Gratitude was the first thing on my mind this morning as I got up and started a new day. "Gratitude First" is a new state for me first thing in the morning. In the beginning it was a choice: I'm going to start my day with gratitude instead of __________ (you fill in the blank for you; for me it was "grumpy need coffee NOW).

I'd like to be able to say truthfully that I made this choice from a highly evolved state of spiritual development but my truth is I noticed that it worked. The way it worked for me is that when I start my day with gratitude, my usual morning routine is smoother, my first exchanges with my husband are  positive, and  the work I sit down to is more productive and effective.

Given that I'm in the midst of moving my house and my home-based office and in the midst of developing a fledgling business that involves exercising some newly learned (and still very clunky) skills, I couldn't be happier with the results of choosing gratitude.

The first email I read this morning pointed me to Kevin's Blog post on The Power of Gratefulness and from his to this recent post in Curt Rosengren's wonderful Occupational Adventure blog. I encourage you to read both posts to learn about the benefits of choosing gratitude to increase the positiveness in your life.
