Quote:
"We often take for granted the very people who most deserve our
gratitude. Let us not wait until it is too late for us to express that
gratitude. Speaking of loved ones he had lost, one man declared his
regret this way: 'I remember those happy days, and
often wish I could speak into the ears of the dead the gratitude which
was due them in life, and so ill returned.'"
Journal Prompt:
Write a list of the people who have made a difference in your life. Then
look at your list and determine who you have been taking for granted.
Take time to either call those people and say thank you and/or write
them a letter of gratitude. This can happen over the course of a couple
weeks or longer depending on your list. You may want to decide to
write on person a week until you have completed
your entire list.
Doing this exercise will not only bless the lives of those you write,
but it will have an amazing impact on your life as well. Record your
experience in your Gratitude Journal. Your might want to make a copy of
the letters you write and keep them in your
gratitude journal as well.
