Gratitude: The State of Being Grateful

We have heard many successful people talk about gratitude.  Oprah has spoken of keeping a gratitude journal (which I have adopted) as well as several other successful, people.  In my own experience I realize that the more I stay in a place of gratitude, no matter what, the more I fix my mind on being grateful,  the more good things come to me and the happier I feel. 

The deliberate action of being grateful always uplifts my spirit and makes me smile; how can it not when it involves listing or mentally cataloging all the things I am grateful for? The benefits are ongoing and I have committed myself to the cultivation of gratitude for every good thing that comes to me each and every day. 

Here are 10 things I am grateful for right now -  in no particular order:

• The inspiration to write this gratitude post
• My life
• My family and friends
• My business
• The hundreds of women I have met over the past couple years through MACsWomen
• My Android Phone
• The Apprentice  and Real Housewives (All of them LOL)
• Back to school activities
• Pistachio Ice cream
• You!... for reading my post!
