Gratitude, by Melissa Foster
If you are following our blog hop, then you are reading many
blogs about gratitude. I’m going to present this one from a little different
slant.
Enjoy!
G – Giving without
expecting something in return is the best gift of all.
R – Receiving is a
sign that you are appreciated. Share it with someone else. Pay—it-forward
A – Appreciation can
be shown in many forms; a smile, a thank you, a gift, or even just a wave. It’s
easy to do. Reach out, show your appreciation for others.
T – Thanking someone
is one way to show you appreciate them. Sometimes, a thank you is nice to
receive when you haven’t done anything other than being you. Perhaps you can
share that with someone today.
I – Including others
in your life and in your success is a wonderful gift. Try it.
T – Tell someone what
you like about them for no reason at all—you’ll make their day.
U – Unhappiness comes
from within. Helping others can help your happiness. Try it.
D – Delve deep into
why you do things—is it for others or for yourself? If it’s all for you, change
it up a bit. You might find greater results.
E – Expecting friends
to help you is not being a true friend. Expecting yourself to help others is.
Know the difference. Share your love.
A little preachy? Maybe, but it’s from the heart and I hope
you enjoy it as well as the free books you receive on our gratitude blog tour.
We are truly grateful for all of the support we receive from readers, bloggers,
authors, and friends. WoMen’s Literary Café (www.womenslitcafe.com) is all about
giving back. Join us!
