in the Grip of Gratitude
Only 34%
of American adults say they are truly happy. How can we cultivate this elusive happiness?

There's a
movement on Facebook. Yep, I know, I'm so over Facebook, too. Considering it
gets more face time from me than my "'job" of teaching yoga. (Any
other yoga teachers out there spending more time promoting their classes than
teaching them? Or is it just me?) I'm turning the corner... and even finding
gratitude for social networks.... here's why:
The
movement: A Month Of Gratitude. A friend, (we're virtual facebook
friends, anyway) is opening a yoga studio called Gratitude Yoga. She created
this thankfulness event. And, it's spreading... invited me and
a few friends...I invited a few friends...then, they invited a few...
then their friends have invited a few.... now there are hundreds of us who are
showing their gratitude. It's viral, in a good way.
So what
are you waiting for? Join me in dedicating the
month of November to everything that we are grateful for. It's never too late to start.
Each day list 5 things that you are grateful for. They can be
anything! Tell your friends and watch your gratitude grow...
5 things I'm grateful for today:
1.
the best night's sleep I’ve had in a month or more (could have been a
post-Halloween sugar coma and/or lingering bliss from an extraordinary, serendipitous weekend)
2.
donated 2 huge bags of candy to a local dentist paying $1 a lb. (what's he
gonna do with it? sounds suspect to me)
3.
friends rallying around my 40th birthday party.... the event has gotten a bit out of hand... the latest addition to the party... an artist will create larger than life... well, now, wouldn't you like to know? you'll just have come to the party to find out!
4.
great music, check out this song by Aloe
Blacc "Green Lights"
5. my
sons. they hung the moon, as far as I'm concerned.
Here’s
to a month of gratitude!
