Sometimes being grateful is a matter of looking for the blessing in mundane matters. Here’s a list you could consider.
Today I’m grateful for:
A wife who hogs the covers every night, because it means she’s not with someone else.
The son who is not cleaning his room, but is playing Halo 3 because that means he is at home and not out on the streets.
The taxes I pay because it means that I’ve got a good job.
The mess I have to clean up after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
The clothes that fit a little too snugly, because it means I have plenty to eat.
The lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need cleaning out because it means I have a home.
The complaints that I hear about government, because it means we still have freedom of speech.
The parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am able to walk, and I have a good car for transportation.
The large heating bill because it means I am nice and warm.
The lady in church who can’t sing to save her soul (not literally) because it means my ears are working just fine.
The pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
The aching muscles at the end of a day because it means I’ve had a good workout.
The noisy alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.
Think of even counter-intuitive things like this to be grateful for and the universe will bring you more good things. If you did nothing else in the Law of Attraction process except be grateful for what you have you would have a lot more success in attracting more good into your life.
And that my friends is well worth it.
