GratitudeLog

Elle Dee is grateful for the GratitudeLog. I have been away for a while -- and wow was that a mistake. I encourage everyone who is a member here (and your friends and family who are not yet... ) to join. I took a meaningless hiatus from the Glog for the last few weeks. Why? I thought that it was taking up too much time.

Boy, oh boy, was I wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! Silly, silly me.

Funny enough - I found that living without deliberate and disciplined thankfulness made me CLOGGED (and not in the good way). Things began to run less smoothly. I became negative, more frustrated and easily agitated. I lost focus. I have felt like I have been beating my head against all of the things I wanted to accomplish. Basically, with few exceptions, without thankfulness I was at a standstill, wasting hours of precious time 'trying' to do work and make progress, instead of actuallly doing it.!! I felt like I was running while dragging a bag of heavy bricks behind me.

SO, if ever you have the urge to disconnect from your gratitude, I implore you ---- DONT DO IT. By being here, showing up here day after day, you are making a huge positive impact on yourself, those who have to live with you You are also enlarging your capacity to contribute to the collective goodness in this world!

Stay thankful.

Namaste!
