We expected to be in better financial shape at this point in our lives but circumstances have provided unexpected "opportunity" to learn to be grateful for what we do have. Life may not bring exactly what you expect, but it is good! Thanks for sharing this story; I am sure that more than a few people can relate to it in this economy.

We are thinking about doing a Mac OS app too, also free. Do you think it could be useful? We use iCloud to save personal gratitudes in order to change your phone or tablet or mac and not losing all your entries... I started my gratitude diary once my second daughter was born. I start to feel better and a couple of months later I decided to create this app. People is really appreciating it, It makes me feel good. I hope you try it, it could be great if you can provide your opinion... thanks! http://goo.gl/SOgQL Paul,

Every morning for more than 18 years I would awaken to an ever-changing view of the Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains (at least when they weren't totally obscured by the clouds!) I enjoyed and appreciated that view, and on those days when the fog was thick and obscured it from my gaze, I missed it. But even on those foggy days there was an opportunity for appreciation - my gaze shifted from the grandeur of the overall beauty in front of me to the closer ghostlike outlines of the trees in the foreground and the plants in the yard. Those were the days that reminded me that even when grandeur of the overall view was unavailable to me, by looking closer beauty could still readily be found. How many times in our lives have we found the "fog obscuring our view" and missed the opportunity to see a different type of beauty right there in front of us? Thanks for sharing this post, Paul. It's a great reminder (to use an old cliche) to "stop and smell the roses." I grew up in Seattle in a house that had a million dollar view.

Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man.

There is nothing worse then Unexpressed Gratitude. The whole reason for saying thank you is to let the giver know how much you appreciate something he or she has done for you. As the author G.B. Stern said "Silent Gratitude is not much use to anyone" Not expressing your gratitude is like gift wrapping a present and then not giving it to anyone. Especially as we celebrate Thanksgiving this week let us reflect on how much we have to be thankful for and make an special effort to always express our gratitude.

I saw Nick speak at a church conference a few years ago, and it was amazing how much energy and enthusiasm he had as he spoke. It felt like he was going to bounce off the stage with all his energy and enthusiasm. My mom, who because of her strokes, uses a wheelchair or a walker to get around, was also there, and cried while hearing him speak. He reminded her that inspite of whatever limitations we might each have, we still have amazing possibilities available to each of us. We all have more than we know, we just have to believe it and use it. Thanks again for sharing! And thanks for being an awesome Wordpress coach and teacher! Sincerely, Sandra Hi Paul,

Tomorrow would have been my dear sister Francine's 70th birthday. I celebrate our time together every day and as time passes I am so grateful I had such a wonderful sister who became my wonderful friend. You were fortunate to have such a special mother in law who loved you dearly for your giant heart and I know you returned that love to her. Love, Auntie M Paul, I remember your burst of today (October 1) all too well. Tomorrow would have been my dear sister Francine’s 70th birthday.

It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what

I was in Pittsburgh once a few years ago. Maybe it is time for a road trip! Thanks, Alicia, for reminding me of the relevancy as well as the therapeutic aspects. I never thought of it that way...

I learned a while ago that it is not, "all about me." I will never accomplish all that I want by myself. I have to reach out to others. The best way to start is by being kind. Thanks for stopping by!
