I am richly blessed. I have a family that loves me. I have beautiful memories of many people who have come and gone in my life for whatever reason. I have a wonderful loving partner. I need to be expressing my thankfulness. I still have a living Grandmother in Joplin who is so precious to me. I can't wait to hug her this coming week! Thank you for reminding me. Like G.G., I am crying thinking about all I am thankful for. Let me tell you that I am also thankful for you. You continue to teach me valuable lessons. I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613133849454217863.post-75669410218761941862009-11-17T09:31:10.101-08:002009-11-17T09:31:10.101-08:00Michelle, this is very insightful and appropriate...Michelle, this is very insightful and appropriate especially at this time of year.

I tell others all the time too.<br /><br />I bless people out loud too...sometimes they are taken aback. I know that this is diferent for all of us...and most of this has to do with our Ego. I know this though..you are on the right path for you...and from your writings I can say I am grateful for that.Reid Scott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484199850229900075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613133849454217863.post-36486320460484373272009-11-11T17:21:06.512-08:002009-11-11T17:21:06.512-08:00I am also interested in the practice of gratitude....I am also interested in the practice of gratitude. I think that it is becoming a lost art unfortunately, and I just hate it when people seem ungrateful.It's something I struggle with regularly, because I'm often unsure of where that line is between being ungrateful and just wanting or needing a little sympathy from another human. I'm always glad when Thanksgiving comes around every year and reminds me to reset my gratitude meter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
