Ten Finger Gratitude

About a month ago, my minister introduced us during a church service to one of the sweetest and most effective practices I have been exposed to, and now try to practice daily. I am not sure what its actual name is, but I call it Ten Finger Gratitude.

During the church service, Allan invited us to look at our 10 fingers and focussing on one finger at a time, name one thing we are grateful for. I loved doing this! It was so sweet and simple to actually focus on each finger and think of something I could give thanks for.

I have found as each day has passed since then, that the daily practice of naming 10 things I am grateful for has produced a lovely sense of contentment and grounding even amidst a time which is by its very nature very ungrounding.

I wanted to share this practice with you today in the hopes that you too will enjoy it and find it helpful.

Happy Sunday, Happy August! May this month be filled with the delights of the season… like juicy peaches, ice cream cones, lots of porch visits with friends and family, swimming at a beach and time to reflect, before the fall is upon us.

Hallelujah!
