What Is Gratitude For?

Not until I began practicing GRATITUDE did I see
how the JOY it brings recharges my energy for the day.
GRATITUDE CAN GET LOST IN OUR DAILY SHUFFLE
YET,
A PAUSE for GRATITUDE is a CLICK ON “REFRESH”.

She Still Fills My Heart with GRATITUDE

This free heart young girl with autism and I met at a St. Louis Public Schools Parents Conference where I shared the PARENTS CAN PAUSE practice. She wrote the book I’m holding, In The Eyes of a Child.

HER GRATITUDE FOR LIFE WAS CONTAGIOUS! I spotted her doing her dance and joined in. Together we became as one moving in the pause across the gymnasium floor laughing and grooving.

Can’t remember the last time I
experienced this much JOY!

GIVE a WHIRL to PRACTICING BEING GRATEFUL
Here is one way or Do it your way

In this moment I am willing to pause.

Soft eyes, opened or closed

Hand resting above my heart center

Quietly in my mind, I repeat the thought, “I am grateful.”

BREATHE

I give thanks for my grateful heart.
