Gratitude Garland Day 30

Today's prompt......

Approach the present with your heart's consent. Make it a blessed event.
- Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.
-Colette

Today is the final day of the Gratitude Garland prompts...but you can keep going with your garland for as long as you like! Invite friends and family to join you, and create your own embellishments for this simple daily practice.
If you didn't keep up with the daily ritual this time around -- DON'T worry! The 30 prompts aren't going anywhere -- you can start over, or use them time and time again. The goal of this type of endeavor is not to complete it perfectly -- it is to complete it in a way that both supports and is supported by your life at this present moment.

Today's prompt involves reflecting on any new insights you might have gleaned through this month. Have you become more in tune with the daily art of gratitude? Have you made peace with certain people or aspects of yourself or your life? Are you noticing more details? What have YOU found out about yourself in the past 30 days? And how will this set you up for newness in life in the future?

Use today's slip to reflect on these questions through words and art.

It has been a joy to be with you each day. I would love to see photos of your Gratitude Garlands! Please feel free to post a comment with a picture of your garland and/or any insights that you gained from this month long practice.


August 1 starts the next workshop: Accounting Your Blessings! This will be another way in which to expand your gratitude. It is quite different in approach, and will access your feelings and awareness at a deeper level.

I am grateful for all of you,
Anne
