The Attitude of Gratitude Works!

I had forgotten what it was like to have an attitude of gratitude as I had been caught up in my own tirals and tribulations over the last couple of years.  However, a little while ago, I decided to revert back to having an attitude of gratitude and began my days being grateful for....whatever it is in my life that I have.

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  I had to run several errands and follow up with exercise, to which I have also recently gone back.  I walked into the local Staples store to get some large size documents scanned onto a stick.  The cashier helping me informed me that it would cost $10 to which I replied, ok, what choice do I have, I must have these documents scanned. 

We started discussing what a beautiful day it was and I mentioned how lucky we are to experience winter as it makes us grateful to have these beautiful days.  When he finished scanning my documents, we both walked toward the cash and he whispered, I'm going to give you a discount.  I couldn`t believe it!  I thought, what a nice man, wanting to give me a discount for absolutely no reason.  I didn`t ask for one so why would he have even offered.  He then charged me $5.99!!!  That was a huge discount, I thought.  Then, the attitude of gratitude will bring you abundance, came to mind.  I saved $4 simply because I was emitting an energy of gratitude and shared it with him.  It was truly a wonderful experience.

When I finished my errands, which required me to deal with the permit office at the local borough (also a wonderful experience I must add), I began my exercise regime of speed walking outside.  As I was doing my walk, a woman stopped her car, pulled over mext to me simply to tell me that she loved my hair color!  Can you imagine.... I absolutely had to blog about this experience because it is the universe telling me that I`m on the right path - my attitude must be of gratitude.

Today I am grateful for having connected with a high school friend, to whom I haven`t spoken in 25 years.  She helped to lift an unbelievably heavy weight off my shoulders and guided me along a path that will help me achieve something on which I have been working for over 2 years.  Thank you Dara, I am so grateful for your help and I know this will work!
Remember, attitude of gratitude....try it and you`ll see that it works.  Stay tuned for more interesting experiences of being grateful.
