How to Live A Grateful Life
I love anything about sharing, gratitude and happiness. It just puts you in a better mood and makes the impossible seem so much easier. It’s why “The Secret” is one of my favorite books and I often write about keeping a gratitude journal. I even have a Pinterest board dedicated to Gratitude and Happiness!
Obviously I was excited to read The Grateful Life, the 3rd book in a trilogy by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons. It’s an anthology of stories on gratitude, which encourages you to be thankful for what you have in you life right now. I personally find that when you are grateful for what you have, you get more and more of what you love. The authors open the book with a very good point: “Whatever your goal may be, nothing happens until you take action.” So it’s not like you can just ask for whatever you want and wait til it happens — there’s still some work involved.
