Hi Anno, Thanks for sharing that. This is what it is all about. The words we use to express our gratitude help to create the feelings of gratitude within ourselves. Feeling grateful is the magic of gratitude. When we feel gratitude we can make a real shift. Like you did. I loved the line by James Ray and Michael Beckwith on the Oprah show; "Thank you for giving me this so I can learn to be grateful for it." It is the part of gratitude that took me the longest to learn and I can't say that it is easy. But it is freeing. Thanks again for sharing. Kathy
