Gratitude: A Way of Life




by Louise L. Hay




When I awaken in the morning, the first thing I do before I even open my eyes is to thank my bed for a good night’s sleep. I am grateful for the warmth and comfort it has given me. From that beginning, it is easy to think of many, many more things that I am grateful for. By the time I have gotten out of bed, I have probably expressed gratitude for 80 or 100 different people, places, things, and experiences in my life. This is a great way to start the day.

In the evening, just before sleep, I go through the day, blessing and being grateful for each experience. I also forgive myself if I feel that I made a mistake or said something inappropriate or made a decision that was not the best. This exercise fills me with “warm fuzzies,” and I drift off to sleep like a happy baby.

We even want to be grateful for the lessons we have learned. Don’t run from lessons; they are little packages of treasure that have been given to us. As we learn from them, our lives change for the better.

Affirm: I am so grateful for my beautiful life. I am cherished and loved by everyone.
