The following I read this morning:
"Counting your blessings promotes good physical health, according to a study by some US doctors. Volunteers who kept weekly gratitude journals reported fewer aches and pains than those who recorded daily hassles or neutral events.
A "gratitude visit" was developed by Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman to promote strong emotional health. He tells people to think of someone who has made an important difference in their lives. He asks them to write the story of how that person has helped them."
As I thought about this, several persons came to my mind, especially in times of need. (When I was a teenager I lost my mother and my father was so overwhelmed with grief and loneliness he was of no help to me). Then during my adult years I could think of some very special individuals. I was fortunate to be able to thank some of them. But others went on to be with the Lord.
If you think of somebody in your life who has been an inspiration, stimulation or a blessing, how wonderful that person would feel if you'd mention it to them. I certainly plan to express thanks if possible, to the remaining individuals who have helped shape my life.
How about you?
