"Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;...
and not today's pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man."

Gratitude Walking

Lisa Vance - Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Alphabet Gratitude Walks

It is funny, I have been getting all the "gratitude" messages this month. Personally I have been on a gratitude journey lately, reminding myself daily about the things I choose to be or can be grateful for and positive about.

Last night I had a friend for dinner and she told me her gratitude story... it has such a wonderful creative and "healthy spin" on it I had to share it.  She goes for "gratitude walks" and doesn't come home until she has completed her A-Z.

Here's Myrna's Gratitude Story:

I believe strongly that Gratitude is the doorway to Joy and Prosperity.  It has helped me to
become more effective, loving and more generous....it's a constant work in practice.

I started with doing Gratitude Walks everyday, just saying I am thankful for God allowing
me to participate in the day, being grateful for my family and friends and for all the things
that were coming my way.

I then increased my Gratitude by including the letters of the alphabet from A-Z  That has become
a very interesting exercise.  It's a great barometer of my "attitude" for the day.  Sometimes it
is easier than others.  One day I was really struggling with my attitude...got to the letter "Y"
and thought what could I be grateful here....so said "I am grateful for the tub of Greek Yoghurt
in my fridge.  It's such a simple exercise and life empowering.

I will remember when I get to the letter "L" to say I am grateful to Lisa being my friend!!

Thanks Myrna Widlend for sharing your story :)
