Day 189 • The Gratitude Practice Project via /r/gratitude

It finally has a name: The Gratitude Practice Project

The earliest recollection of any type of gratitude practice in my life came from basic manners that my parents, grandparents and family gave to me when I was very small. Saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ are the most basic of manners, and not much other reasoning was ever given as to why one should even say these words. So even though I was giving thanks, it took decades before I became aware of the greater purpose of these two simple words.

For over fifty years I have listened to people speak about gratitude. But only in the past two decades has practicing gratitude become a ritual. I have done several small stints of gratitude but none that have lasted as long as this. Yesterday, this name came to me, so I registered a domain for this.

I’ve often thought about writing a book, and creating a program to help others. For now though, it’s just a name. Who knows what will come further! I am excited though, and for all of this, I am grateful ✨😊🙏
