On the 27th of Feb we have the opportunity to review President Monson's General Conference address titled "The Divine Gift of Gratitude" (click on the title to read the talk). What he is teaching us is a blessing we can experience every time we are willing to feel gratitude. I believe that the blessing will also grow as we express the gratitude. Some of you may have read When Bad Things Happen to Good People (excellent book). Of course, the title of the book is true. I am able to bear personal witness that if we will interject gratitude in our life (in any way we are able) that the "bad things" that may happen to us will be easier to bear and we receive more benefit from these trials.
Please prepare to share your thoughts and feelings about gratitude on February 27th.
Love,
Shirlee Chaillet

For several years it proved helpful to our family circumstances to keep a "Gratitude Journal". We would each night, each name 3 things we were grateful for that day, even if it were only "breathing"! It gradually changed focus and attitudes to see there really were blessings in spite of difficult days.
I am so grateful for Ruth and Shirlee!
