Gratitude for all

"Gratitude is a spiritual practice that allows us to be grateful for life. Gratitude is a consistent practice that flows in the wisdom of the world."  Eugene D. Holden

It may seem that gratitute is easier sometimes than others; when things are going very well, it is easy to express gratitude.  But what about the times when things are not going well?  How easy is it to be grateful then?  Eugene D. Holden suggests an exercise to develop our 'muscle' of gratitude.  It is:

For 7 days, every morning write five things for which you are grateful.  At night before you go to bed, write down five things for which you were grateful that happened that day.  He says that your life will begin to transform by practicing gratitude, and that this is an excellent practice to develop gratitude.
