28 Day Gratitude Practice
I am beginning my New Year by Counting My Blessings with a 28 Day Gratitude Practice, introduced to me by my soul friend Jeanie Brosius King, and based on the book “The Magic”, by Rhonda Byrne. Here’s 10 things I am grateful for this morning.
I am excited to see what comes up for me each day as the practice progresses… as I count my blessings. Will my thoughts of gratitude tend to be specific or general? Will my day to day activities be more important to me than taking time to be grateful? Will I really find 10 different things to write about each day for 28 days? If I can do it, I will complete this 28 day gratitude practice with a list of 280 blessings accounted for.
Well, I think I can do this… or I wouldn’t have agreed to begin. I can do it because I live a lifestyle that allows me to sleep until completely rested, and my first waking thoughts include a practice of meditative prayer. This early morning hour is for me, sacred, grounding, balancing, centering and connecting. It feeds my soul. And for that, I am most grateful.
So here’s my first 10 things I am grateful for on this first of my 28 Day Gratitude Practice.
- Life itself.
- My husband.
- Each of our children. There’s 5 of them…
- Each of our grandchildren… 14 so far, and more to come…
- A comfortable bed to sleep in, a roof over my head, and the beautiful trees that connect me with the Creator of All Things…Oh wait… that’s more than 10 things, and I have 27 more days of gratitude to go!
Sending blessings of gratitude, abundance of joy to the world in this New Year of 2016

THE MAGIC by Rhonda Byrne
“The Count Your Blessings and Magic Rock practices will ensure that you begin and end your days in a state of gratitude, In fact, they are so powerful that together they would change your life in a few months, But this book is designed to change your life really fast through an abundance of magical practices. Because gratitude is magnetic and attracts more things to be grateful for, the concentration of gratitude over 28 days will intensify the magnetic force of our gratitude. When you have a strong magnetic force of gratitude, like magic, you will automatically magnetize everything you want and need to you!” The Magic, by Rhonda Byrne, page 39
