Gratitude Attitude!

Gratitude seems to be the “in” thing these days. We’re encouraged to list the things that we are thankful for in a gratitude journal. Then, the GratiDudes, Matthew Ashdown and Brad Morris, created a “Gratitude dance.” This is great! The world needs more people with an attitude of gratitude.

But what if there is more to gratitude than being thankful for the positive things in my life? When I first think of gratitude, I think about being thankful for the things or people that I already have in my life.

Try this great Gratitude Dance while you ponder what this involves.
