With the Thank Count at 970+ I need a whallop entry to reach my goal for Christmas. And I have one. Today's thanks goes to Patch Adams and the 40 clowns I met on his Healing Tour of Russia in 2003. Yay! With that, the thousand thanks have been exceeded!
It was Patch who taught me the gratitude Spiel. The first time we did it with him, folks had trouble finding things to be grateful for. But once he showed us how, we could scarcely stop the gratitude. It's a permanent fixture now. It's a wonderful way to brighten up a day; a satisfaction guaranteed mood modifier. Because a grateful heart cannot be depressed. Sure, we can be sad, but gratitude lends emotion another dimension. You lose the self-pity that always makes things unbearable. Even at the worst moments, there's more to be grateful for than not.
On Christmas Day, but every other day too, may every breath that is in me be filled with thanks and praise. A blessed day to everyone with much love!
Mit Patch und die anderen, die ich in Russland kennen und lieben gelernt habe, bin ich durch eine Herzenstransformation durchgegangen. Es dauerte zwar aber heute bin ich wirklich dankbar für alles, was mein Leben ausmacht. Allen eine schöne Festzeit!
