Count your blessings. Make a
list of ten blessings. Write why
you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and
feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.
I am truly blessed to have the
practice of meditation in my life and using it at least a little most days,
because it is so good for us
all! I intend to do more and more.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
my ability to read and for books,
because both are good in so
many ways! I remember when still pre-school, like 3 years old, used to
stand outside our 6-family little apartment, asking passers-by: “Will you show
me how to do the words?” Haha! Because my parents didn’t know how to TEACH ME
to read. And I wanted to SO MUCH! I am grateful for that desire!
And my mother said no I must
stop doing that as it was bothering people coming home from work etc. (I was
not out there alone; she was with me and I would go running the few feet over
as people came by, book in hand).
That desire was like, just natural
in me!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for
learning how, and quickly,
because that success bred
success.
My parents and uncle,
encouraging me, making a big deal over how well I was doing…
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for the effect that has on me encouraging my students!,
Because they are
benefitting too!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly blessed to have the
learning I get from books,
because I know more about
history, I know more about human nature, I was able to get my degrees, and I am
able to benefit my life from self-help books – all through non-fiction reading.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so happy and grateful for
my “Magic Rock” practice!
Because I started this, according
to this blog, about 54 days ago! And still, every single night, there is
something new, and unique to THAT day, for which to be grateful!
And – in order to get to
it, I go through some things from that particular day, that are
wonderful! Wow!
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am truly grateful for every
single person who is working toward peace and freedom for people and non-human
animals,
because every single one is a
help.
Thank you so much!
Thank you thank you thank you!
With all my heart, thank you
for laughter,
because I will live and I will
die either way. Might as well lighten up and laugh and enjoy! : )
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for the help I am giving for my mother,
because she really needs it.
And because it is the right thing to do. And because I am able, thank you God.
And because it means I have the opportunity for the nice times with her too.
And because I am not able to pawn it off on J., which is better for him and
better for me.
Thank you thank you thank you!
I am so incredibly fortunate
and lucky and grateful for sitting her this morning and enjoying this day!
Because things might change,
even for the better(!) – but this – I have right now!
Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you!
2. Remember The magic by
counting the blessings of yesterday and writing them down. Ask yourself the
question: What are the good things that
happened yesterday? Scan the surface of yesterday until you feel satisfied
that you’ve remembered and written down all the blessings of the day.
