Stress is the No 1 cause of most disease in our lives.   Were you aware that being grateful can reduce that stress?

Adults and children take a lot of things in their life for granted and are not very grateful for what they have.

With life passing us by so quickly and so much going on every day how many of you take the time to be grateful in life, just stop and take a moment and notice what you have in your life to be grateful for.  Also those of you with children, how do you teach them to respect and be grateful?

When my daughter was younger I would take her to the children’s hospital or a shelter for single moms and we would give toys and clothes that we no longer wanted.  We would also go and buy food and take it there.  Sometimes we would just visit and take some books and read to them.I would let my daughter speak to the kids and give them what she had brought for them herself.  This I felt taught her to be grateful for what she had and to respect what she had no matter what it was.  She, in turn, takes her daughters to kids shelters and they make bagged lunch’s for the kids and also they give all their clothes and toys to these kids when they are done with them.  They too know how to be grateful for what they have and do not disrespect what they do have.

Was it easy to think of 3 things?  Did you have to really think about it or did it just come to you instantly, for some of you I can imagine you thought of more than 3 things I am sure.

Right now I am grateful for my husband, my daughter, and grandchildren who are all healthy and happy.  I am also grateful I work at home and can be here writing this right now.  This moment I am most grateful for the music I am listening to which is making me feel very creative, relaxed and grateful.  The music inspired me to write this post.

So I am going to share it with you if you feel inspired to listen. click here

Stop complaining and be grateful, there is always something to be grateful for no matter who you are or what little you have.

When I was going through my illness and back injury I was single and had to support myself.  Unfortunately, I could not do this as I was partially paralyzed and could not work or earn any money to support myself.  After selling all my worldly possessions which did not make me feel very good, I realized when all my friends stepped up with food and accommodations and help how grateful I was to have such wonderful people in my life.  Even though I had nothing and was homeless I was also rich in friendships and was on my way back to being healthy and strong again.  Like I said there is always, always something to be grateful for.upport myself.  Unfortunately, I could not do this as I was partially paralyzed and could not work or earn any money to support myself.  After selling all my worldly possessions which did not make me feel very good, I realized when all my friends stepped up with food and accommodations and help how grateful I was to have such wonderful people in my life.  Even though I had nothing and was homeless I was also rich in friendships and was on my way back to being healthy and strong again.  Like I said there is always, always something to be grateful for.
