Wishing all of you a
very “HAPPY THANKSGIVING” !!
Gratitude has become a
habit for me; I have learnt to be grateful for small little things; for the
gift of breath, family, basic necessities, and the services that I take from
various persons who make my life comfortable. I am also grateful for the bigger
things; the work that I do at the university, the space that I enjoy at my
counseling centre, the meaning that comes from meeting different kinds of
students, the trust that they have in me; the leadership and the initiative
that my head takes to bring in challenges in learning, the opportunities that I
get because of the kind of work I do and for motivation and support that I get
from my work place fills me a lot more of gratitude.
I am also grateful for the affirmations I get
from my loved ones and my friends; and for some very negative experiences that
has helped me to sort myself out; thankful for these persons in my life for
making me think, reflect, and make choices that helped me focus on the
essentials of life.

These negative
experiences have altered my very lifestyle, giving me time to do the things
that matter; if not for these experiences in my life, I would not have
discovered a new skill of making research oriented academic presentations.
In the last month I made
a paper presentation on the importance of counseling women in Domestic
Violence. Currently I am busy working on two more presentations one on proactive
approach to Mental Health and well-being among high school students and another
one on Domestic Violence and positive psychology. An attitude of gratitude has
kept me going and a happy heart has always motivated me even in the worst situation
of my life.
I am glad to be writing
this gratitude post as I believe gratitude is a positive energy that not only energizes
me, but always gives me a new perspective to deal with any issue, instilling
confidence and courage! I feel blessed and rich to be surrounded by grateful
persons and grateful bloggers. I thank all the bloggers (Corinne, Vidya, Kathy, Shilpa, .. to name a few) who have been a source of inspiration and
strength to me. Living with gratitude is like having a song in my heart to
enjoy the journey….
Be Blessed & Be Grateful !!

Hi G Angela! What a lovely tribute to gratitude. I so, so agree with everything you said. But I LOVED it when you said, "I believe gratitude is a positive energy that not only energizes me, but always gives me a new perspective to deal with any issue, instilling confidence and courage!" I'm looking forward to see how each of us share and spread the gratitude in the months to come. ~Kathy
