inspiration Practice Gratitude


and Change Your Life by April Thompson


“I have started a gratitude journal that I write in every day. When you run out of the ‘obvious’ blessings, it makes you dig deep and see all the small things. I commit to do my very best to never take anything or anybody, good or bad, for granted.”


~ Lisa Henderson Middlesworth


“A town can be such a blessing. Neighbors always pull together when there’s a tragedy or natural disaster. The boundaries diminish and yards become one... we eat in each other’s kitchens, supervise each other’s children, share vehicles and generally watch out for each other. I believe it is God’s way of reminding us that we’re one family and each of us provides the strength and foundation for the other.”


~ Colleen Epple Pine

iddlesworth and Pine are among


thousands adopting a Gratitude Challenge to help develop their gratitude refl ex and cultivate a more positive outlook on life. Gratitude can take many forms, but


“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”


~ William Arthur Ward


typically participants pledge to refl ect upon and express it daily with the help of email prompts from a sponsoring organization. A gratitude practice can help grow appreciation for the strangers that better our lives. It can also deepen our gratefulness for the signifi cant others we sometimes take for granted. Approaching a milestone birthday, retired businessman Walter Green set out on a year-long journey to visit 44 people that he credited with changing his life to initiate conversations about their infl uence, which he recounts in the book This is the Moment! While the relationships were already solid,


according to Green, “In many cases, it was the most signifi cant conversation we ever had.” Gratitude is a small act with a big payoff, Green observes. “The person receiving gratitude appreciates knowing they made a difference, but the giver is the greatest


recipient. It feels good to express gratitude, plus you are freed from future regrets that you didn’t express it when you had the chance.” Patricia Brugioni, a Christian Science nurse from Chicago, has been sharing three things she’s grateful for on social media on a daily basis since taking a fi ve-day online challenge earlier this year. “I am a grateful person by nature, but now I am claiming the good that is coming to me and learning to cherish things without feeling like I have to earn them,” she says.
