Socorro,
Thank you for your awareness…and tip! I agree, complaining is a great indicator that you are not in gratitude.

Dear Jo Ann,
i am grateful for so many things in my life and when I find myself complaining about whatever, I switch to gratitude and I see that things are not as bad as I was making them appear, my perspective changes and life is much easy.
thank you for creating Very Smart Girls.

LOVE YA,
Socorro

Doreen,
I am thankful for your wit “secret sauce” or should I say “source.” I had not thought of that! Thank you!

Loved it, Jo-Ann, especially the “secret sauce” or should I say “source.” Be thankful to the source. That’s great.

And I thank YOU for your words of wisdom, my Dear.

Thank you for reminding me. I have so much to be grateful for. I have been given the gifts of intelligence and health and family and friends. I often ask for Spirit’s assistance to help me use these gifts in service to humanity and myself – to make a contribution to the world.

When I am going through difficult times, I always try to look for the lesson. We grow and learn as we go through difficult times.

I am grateful for my friend, Jo-Ann and this wonderful website she created.

I have found that when I am in an “Attitude of Gratitude” negative thinking and judgments are laid aside. I am not talking about being a Pollyanna. There is so much to be grateful for, starting with the air I breath, the beating of my heart, what I see and hear. Each morning awakening and taking a hot shower. The water right there are the end of a twist. I have food waiting for me in the kitchen. My wonderful, wiggly dog who always looks at me with gratitude and love.

When driving I am in gratitude for my car and that I can afford the gas. Even with a few potholes this time of year I am in gratitude that the roads are paved and not dirt roads full of ruts. When a driver is rude I have gratitude that I have a choice not to be rude back to them. On and on and on.

Thank you for reminding me of all I have gratitude for.
