Gratitude is something that I express everyday, throughout the day, for the smallest of blessings.

An old friend from time to time would ask me to drop everything and have either a gratitude or appreciation prayer, sometimes it was simply an affirmation.

Anyway, the idea was that I would sit for as long as I could, say 15 – 30 minutes, expressing out loud those things for which I was grateful.

I was amazed at how many things I could recite, from universal to personal, the sun, the air, food, health, wisdom, finances, healing, purpose, and on and on.

I felt so wonderful after performing this exercise that I do it regularly. But more importantly, I begin each day with a prayer and meditation on Gratitude. I thank God each day for the simplest of blessings, right as they manifest, and in advance before they do.

As you will see from the quotes on Gratitude that I’ve written and selected, it is a virtue that is very dear to me.

It should be for all who still breath.
