• Shower hosts have been
    known to insist that the
    guests pool their money for
    an expensive gift
  • Children write out
    Christmas lists and are not
    expected to give to others or
    to send thank-you notes

The ages-old tradition of giving and
receiving, and its significance, are,
unfortunately, lost when the
recipient feels entitled to a gift in
general, and specific gifts in
particular.

Practicing gratitude each
day will remind you of
the good things in your
life. Now, I don't want to
sound like a Pollyanna,
but this is worth a try! If
nothing else, it will help
you feel better about your
current life
circumstances. Add
something new to your
gratitude list each day,
and you'll be amazed at
how many great things
you will be able to think
of once you develop this
skill!

When you are grateful for
everything you already
have, you open yourself
up to attract more great
things. The Law Of
Attraction always makes
sure that this will
happen. Thank the
Universal Source for
everything you currently
have, and you will invite
and allow even more
prosperity to come to you.
Make gratitude a part of
your daily routine....and
witness miracles in your
life!

    Whatever your situation is, focusing on what is lacking in your life is the single most
    effective way to ensure that you remain in a state of scarcity.

    You might ask this question: But How Can I Show Gratitude When I Don't Have What
    I Want Yet?. And that IS a good question; so here's a good answer: Make A Habit
    Of It.

    Now, if you have become accustomed to only seeing scarcity all around you, then my guess
    is that gratitude will be the last thing on your mind. So the suggestion I am going to make
    may be difficult for you at first; I would even go as far as to say that you may feel a bit
    resentful about having to do it.Some people don't want to take responsibility for the fact
    that they are not doing well financially. It's so much easier for us to blame other people and
    outside circumstances for our lack of wealth; because if it's all other people's fault, then we
    don't have to do anything ourselves in order for "things to change".. right??

    Well Okay, that's fine if you're happy for things to remain exactly as they are now. But if
    not, why not give this a go? You have everything to gain and nothing to lose! So make a
    commitment to change the way you see your life. Take stock of everything you have. You
    might be surprised and even amazed at all of the little things that you forgot are so special
    to you.

    Begin by writing of all the positive things you have in your life. Who loves you?
    Who are your friends? What about your children. How do they light up your life?
    These are just a few things that we forget about that add so much value and joy
    to our lives.
    How Gratitude Can Be Your Partner in Life
    By Sonia Devine

    Are you constantly struggling with life? If so, you might be focusing on all the wrong things. Practising daily gratitude
    will help you to turn your life around. Want what you have and what you want will come to you!

    Gratitude is one of the most important things you can practise if you want to manifest unlimited wealth. One of the best
    ways to keep abundance and wealth flowing into your life is to give thanks for what you have today. By focusing on what
    you already have, you allow yourself to receive even more, so it is really vital to practise true gratitude.

    We live in a world that focuses on instant gratification. If we don't have the money for something we want to buy right now,
    then all we have to do is go to the bank and they are more than happy to loan us the money. As a result, many people are
    inundated in debt, and they become trapped in a never ending cycle of wanting, buying, and then spiralling deeper in debt.

    When we get stuck in this cycle, we are constantly wanting things that we don't have, and in the process, we forget to
    appreciate what we DO have; Every day, we remind ourselves of what we are missing in our lives, and we can't begin to
    grasp the concept of gratitude. Instead, we say:
    "When I have everything I want...THEN I'll be grateful!"
    But that is not the way the Universe works....

    Are you always comparing what you have with what others have, or wishing you could have what is advertised on TV? Or
    perhaps the people who live next door have a better car, a nicer house and more "things to play with" than you. Of course, it
    doesn't help when pictures of the "perfect family" with the "perfect life" are right on that TV screen in front of you every day.
    Do you feel deprived, frustrated or angry because you don't have what seems to be on offer to everybody else?

    Thank-You Cards ~ Friendship Cards
Thank-You Notes and
Cards:
Why, When, How
The ritual of giving and receiving
gifts is important in every culture.
In some societies, there is a strict
protocol for gift-giving. In the U.S.,
people tend to choose and give
presents as expressions of their
individual styles.

Click
HERE to learn about the
"language of flowers."

Symbolically, whether the gift is a
baby stroller or a company's promo-
tional T-shirt, it begins a
cycle of
giving and receiving. The cycle is
completed when the recipient
acknowledges and expresses
gratitude for the gift, whether by
presenting his or her own gift or by
writing a thank-you card or letter.
Or the cycle may continue, like a
traveling wheel, into lifelong
friendship.

important messages. Sending a
thank-you note promptly, for
example, indicates that the
recipient values the gift (or kind
gesture, hospitality, and so forth)
and wants to show respect for the
giver.

You should express your
appreciation in writing, as soon as
possible, for...
  • wedding gifts
  • shower gifts
  • baby gifts
  • funeral flowers and
    memorials
  • events hosted in your honor
  • any gift received through
    the mail or a delivery service
as well as after...
  • being a house guest
  • being treated to lunch or
    dinner for a special occasion
  • completing a job interview

There might be other times when
you feel that a thank-you note is in
order. Follow your instincts.

On your note, be sure to
acknowledge the gift, thank the
giver, and mention why you value
the gift (even if you don't really like
it; for example, "Every time I look
at it, I will think of you and your
kindness").

In the U.S., the giving of gifts is
evolving into a response to
demands:
  • Wedding invitations
    tastelesslyindicate where
    the couple is "registered";  
    some even contain requests
    for monetary gifts
