The Gratitude Chain

My hope for this place is that it will present the opportunity for each person interested to share a written expression of gratitude during the course of each day.

My vision is that in this space, we will embrace the positives and the gifts that touch us daily, as we acknowledge them in the presence of others who

Thanks for starting the gratitude chain

I want to personally thank you for starting this chain. I have been experiencing some setbacks and personal dissapointments as of late and started to get out of balence. I saw your group this morning and a light bulb went off in my heart that had an imediate positive impact on my out look. It reminded me that things could be a whole lot worse. Therefore, I feel compelled to list the things I am greatful for right now in the presence of others.

1. Even though I am short selling my house and hurting my credit, I found another place to live that is much, much cheaper helping me to save money.
2. Inspite of buget cuts at my school, I still have my job.
3. I am still young enough to rebuild things.
4. This new start has made me re-think my approach to the GCI project I was working on. I put it down for 5 years but am now ready to move forward with it again.
5. I have built my culinary arts program from 12 students in 2005 to 245 students at the present time. This gives me a golden opportunity to use culinary arts to influence my students in a positive direction.

Thanks sooo much for allowing me express my gratitude for what I have and not dwelling on what I have lost. Sometime we just loose perspective and need a little wakeup call. Your chain has done that for me.

Love and Peace

Rex,

I see you share several things that interest me from looking over your profile.
As Nicole so kindly pointed out, Ohmsmom started this group and I am only a purveyor in this humble chain.

Welcome and please do come back.
