Every day for the month of November I will post something for which I am grateful. I invite you to join me in this exercise privately or by leaving a comment to share with others. Please share this blog with others and invite them to share this month long practice.
When we live from a place of gratitude within, our energy and being shift, neurobiologists believe it actually rewires the brain. Gratitude regulates the sympathetic nervous system, where our anxiety response is activated. By living from a place of gratitude we strengthen the mind/body connection and it causes a physiological response. . Gratitude can help relieve stress and pain, improve health over time and lighten depression.
In short, practicing gratitude can make us kinder more peaceful people.
Today I am grateful for music. It moves my soul, energizes my body, soothes my spirit and feeds my being. Music transports me beyond myself.

Today I am grateful for some serendipity chance meetings that remain in my thoughts and heart. An young albino woman in Dublin who asked for my help. An elderly cow herder in Romania who invited me in for tea . A grandmother in a church in Tromso Norway who gave me a spontaneous warm hug because both our sons had worked in tsunami relief in Banta Ache, Indonesia. And many more glimpses into the heart of God.
And many more that
