Tyler, I would love to see less complaining and more gratefulness in society. It would make every day more pleasurable when interacting with all the people in our world.

Hey Eric, I agree that we are supposed to be thank at the things in what we have! Gratefulness is the main ingredient that is needed in our society today because if we look at the things that we are grateful for, then there would be less complaining about things! I have realized that the more that we are grateful and send those vibes out to people that we are grateful for their service, then they want to do more! So true in what you have spoken about focusing on enjoyment! Thanks for posting!

[...] things happen when I sit down to write. Somehow this post connected with my last post about thankfulness, which also touched on expectations. I didn’t plan it that way, but that’s what the universe [...]

Walter, It’s certainly easy to forget to be thankful. With all that is going on in our lives we often get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle. I’m happy you found the reminder useful.

I find myself arrogant in taking for granted the wonderful things that I receive and experience everyday. Thanks for reminding me here of the people who had made my life much easier.

Hi suZen, Thanks so much for stopping by. I love that, to “begin each day in gratitude just for being GIVEN a day.” That is so perfect. We are fortunate to be here experiencing a physical existence on the little planet of ours. Once we become happy and thankful just for being here, everything else is icing on the cake.

Hi Eric! Bopped over from Patty’s – SO glad I have finally come to read your blog! And what an excellent one! Giving thanks should not be just one lousy day, indeed! You’re so right. I begin each day in gratitude just for being GIVEN a day. That sets the tone and I look for things to be thankful for all day long. This topic is so near and dear to my heart! Thank you for writing about it!
hugs

Patty, that is awesome. I love synchronicity like that. On a side note, you have some really great folks reading your blog. I visited a couple of the links from the comment sections and found two new blogs to add to my growing RSS feed list.

Julie, The Accidental Buddhist is a great book. It’s not really even a book about becoming Buddhist, it’s more about exploring that religion to see what it’s all about. I think we should all learn a bit about other religions. The US is very Christian centric, but the World is full of many other religions. I gathered some statistics which will be included in a future post. By studying other religions we can find lots of good insights and philosophies, and also better understand people that follow those religions.

I love this, Eric. Just beautiful. Today I was out to lunch with a friend who paid the check and left an OK tip, but not for the amount of time we occupied the table – three hours during the lunch rush. When she went off to the bathroom at the end of our meal I surreptitiously slipped another $10 into the check portfolio. While I was waiting for my friend to return, I turned on my iPod and started reading your post. I could have sworn you were in that restaurant with me today, my friend. And I’m very thankful that I’ve gotten to know you.
