I've learn that the first rule to having more...more joy, more love, more time, more things...is to be grateful for what I already have. Truly be grateful. I believe it's more than just saying the words, either out loud or in my head. It's the feelings I generate when I am being grateful. And how am I demonstrating that gratefulness. For example, I would love to have a new car. But am I really grateful for the one I have? Am I taking care of it? Does it get the recommended oil changes? Do I get it washed as often as I should? And what about the trash in the floor board? How can I expect "more" when I'm not taking care of what I have?

3 easy steps to help you show gratitude:
- Identify what you are grateful for.
- Feel the feelings of gratitude. Dig deep.
- Demonstrate your gratefulness by taking care of what you already have.
I found it extremely rewarding to start a Gratitude Journal in which I write each day the things I am grateful for. The best time for me is in the mornings when I'm fresh and have a whole marvelous day ahead filled with endless possibilities. I encourage you begin your own Gratitude Journal. I'd love to hear how it's working for you.
