Consistently thankful.
Is it possible?
(Not just during a holiday meal when your host asks you, “What are you thankful for?”)
I do. I think it is possible to be consistently thankful.
Here are three possible ways:
- keep a journal and write it all down
- before you go to sleep and when you wake think of one thing you’re thankful for
- express your thankfulness to others – in writing or verbally
And then what?
What happens if you’re consistently thankful?
I wrote about five things you might learn.
An eloquent Roman said…
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all the other virtues.”
—Cicero
So.
What other virtues (positive character qualities) would you like to nurture?
I often think of the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

And if you’d like something special to document your gratitude, on Amazon you can find two journals I’ve created.
“30 Gratitude Prompts” and “Morning and Evening Gratitude Reflections”
