Box o'gratitude.

One of our staff had a great idea of putting out a Gratitude Box this spring and letting putting write down what they're thankful for or to get inspiration from what others have written. I was going through the box yesterday, and it was so nice to see such heartfelt thoughts, I felt I had to share them.
What are you grateful for?

"I am grateful that I feel Healthy today!"
"The warmth of friendship"
"tengo gracias para mi esposo...cada dia"
"I am grateful that I did not smoke today!"
"when a baby laughs'
"dogs, plants, sunshine and wind."
"I am grateful that I still am alive and cancer free."
"I am grateful to my God for opening my eyes, so that I can begin healing. And thank all of the staff who have helped me to that end."
"I am thankful for my mom. And for having a good job."

I was going to write about how gratitude can be an important part of the healing process, but hopefully the feeling you get as you read these is all the explanation you need.

Hopefully these will help bring a little happiness and gratitude to your day.
