Gratitude for Gratitude's sake: 9/2/10

Tuesday 9 February 2010

9/2/10

Today was indeed a lovely day. I am filled with gratitude:

* The third workshop went on very well. We received laurels that we thought we did not deserve

* Practical strangers being very receptive

* Experienced academicians asking for our numbers in order to connect with us

* A wonderful interaction with the students

* That communication and interaction is vital and essential

Seven Principles for Cultivating Gratitude

By Gregg Krech

Gratitude is independent of one's objective life circumstances;
Gratitude is a function of attention;
Entitlement makes gratitude impossible;
When we continue to receive something on a regular basis, we typically begin to take it for granted;
Our deepest sense of gratitude comes through grace -- the awareness that we have not earned, nor do we deserve what we have been given;
Gratitude can be cultivated through sincere self-reflection; and
The expression of gratitude (through words and deeds) has the affect of heightening our personal experience of gratitude.
