Some gurus say 6, others say 7, the most ambitious say 10 gratitudes a day. One is supposed to take some time each morning upon waking up to recite 6 to 10 gratitudes. Others say it is at night. Others say morning, midday and before bedtime. What is not clear is if one has to think of a new set of gratitudes for each instance or if one is allowed to use the same ones over and over until new ones pop into mind :-)
Some days are better than others. Actually, it is not so much that you have a bad day it's just that if you go through an uneventful day, what do you have to be grateful for? Oh! I had a great day. The world didn't blow up in my face, terrorists did not burst into my home and taken me hostage, The bank did not foreclose on me. I mean how absurd can one get? Hey, today I just sat at my computer, like I do everyday. I did the jobs that had to be done, like I do every day. So, I guess, like this morning and yesterday morning, noon and nite and like tonite, I have to be grateful that I have a PC, and a chair, and a house, and electricity, and a fast Internet connection, and somenone to send contracts over to me on a regular basis so that I can pay my bills on time.
Maybe I need more action in my life so that I can come up with new and fresh things I can be grateful for. Like when I go scuba diving, I could be grateful that a shark did not eat me up. Given that I was diving in a freshwater lake with no direct connection with an ocean may have helped in that matter but still, I'm grateful.
I guess for today I can be grateful that:
1)I have electricity
2)a working PC
3)fast internet connection
4)my home based company
5)money in the bank
6)a roof over my head
7)my 5 senses
8)high bandwidth brain
9)access to more positive thinking self-empowering teaching material that I can shake a stick at.
10) finally, the health and energy to actually take time to put into practice what I am learning in order to better myself
There you go, 10 things to be grateful for.
Now I can relax and watch a DVD tonite. Hey does that count as number 11 ?
