A Peek into my Gratitude process

I have used the MOLESKIN 12-pack calendar this whole year to make it easy for me to record the things that I am grateful for at the end of each day.

These little books are small enough to travel with and IF it gets lost I am only losing about 1 month's worth of items. I TRY to keep my nightstand clean ( Ahem.. I cleaned it up for the photo!) and I see the small book right there and I remember to put something in.

Here is a sample of some of the things I have been grateful for this year:

Jan 2nd 2010

• Rolled down a HILL for first time in 30 years
• Played Wii with Mo John and had tones of fun

April 7th 2010

• Buddha story on PBS left me feeling so peaceful. I meditated before I went to sleep.

July 7th 2010

• Did my first Energy Forum class. I am so happy to share this work.

September 19th 2010

• Lovely day to "fight" away "poor me" thoughts.
• Nice dinner with Anita and wonderful chat with Racha
• Grateful for secure home, alarm system, Wolf, Andrea Lee, new client.

So as you can see, I don't have to write long epistles of gratitude. And guess what... just rereading those few random entries brought a smile to my face and heart.

Here are some other ideas for starting a Gratitude practice  or refining one already in place:

• Hope that you find some joy and spaciousness with your gratitude practice: Moleskine 2011 12 Month Color A Month Daily Planner
• Online: Search for “Gratitude Journal app”, several are available under itunes/appstore for iPhone, iTouch, and iPad.  They are also available for Android based smartphones, search for “Gratitude Journal for Android”.

Love and Light,
