The Gratitude Dance

"So many people in the world today are too focused on what's missing in their lives," observe the two young men from Victoria, Canada, who introduce--and helped produce--this video. "And when you focus on what's missing, you miss the many amazing things that are already there." Their solution? Some shimmying with a twist. Check out the Gratitude Dance.

I'm pretty sure it is my friend Lynne from Fanny Bay who submitted the previous comment. I echo everything she has said about being grateful for grandaughters, an amazing son and his beautiful wife, and friends who are willing to stand up and protect this beautiful resillient planet we are so blessed to call home. I remember how much I loved this video when it first came out in 2008 and loved watching it again.

I am so grateful for so many things: my husband, my family, my adorable grandsons, my wonderful son and my beautiful daughter in law, my friends, my home, clean fresh country air, clean water, good food, my home, nature, my wonderful job, and mostly my eternal love for all of the wonderful diversity of life on this beautiful little blue planet we call home.

I'm grateful for my granddaughter living with me now. I'm grateful to the surgeon who saved my legs 2 years ago. I'm grateful for all I've seen and done in my 68 years. I'm grateful for the wonderful mother I had. Most of all, I'm grateful for getting up each morning and looking out at God's beautiful world and for a loving husband who' s supported and cared and loved me for the past 43 years. I'm grateful to be here on this beautiful planet.
