Gratitude is a powerfull feeling. In fact, it’s pretty hard to feel fearfull or unhappy when you feel gratefull. Go ahead. Try it. C’mon it’s pretty impossible, right?
I’m an advocate in practicing daily gratitude. I’ve written about it in many newsletters and in this blog. I mean really feeling thankfull not just saying the words - “I’m grateful for this and that, blah, blah, blah..” without feeling genuine, heartfelt gratitude.
So, I was delighted to hear about a new project launched by Gimundo. I think they’re on to a great idea.
Go read the press release below and add your thoughts:
LOS ANGELES (May 16, 2007) – Is thankfulness contagious? The folks behind the good news supplement and online community Gimundo (http://www.gimundo.com) are about to find out.
They’ve just launched an online Journal of Gratitude, and are inviting everyone to sign it. Just go to http://www.digitaljournalofgratitude.com/, enter your first name and what you’re thankful for and click submit. Gimundo’s goal is to have one million expressions of gratitude by Thanksgiving 2007.
The Journal already is becoming what Gimundo’s founders had envisioned – a collection of what’s best about our lives, the people close to us and the world itself.
Children, family and friends are common themes, along with God, health and jobs that people truly enjoy. Some mention other pleasures like smiles and laughter, a sunny day, the ability to play guitar, even cappuccino – and the husband who makes it for her every morning. One woman is thankful for how thankful her husband is for her.
“Taking the time to list the things we’re grateful for helps us focus on what’s really important,” said Keith Cohn, Gimundo CEO. “It’s too easy to go through an entire day lost in the frustrations and hassles of living. This Journal of Gratitude is our way of spreading good thoughts and thankfulness throughout cyberspace. Think what a positive force this could be as people pass it around, read what others share and purposefully think about the good things in their own lives.”
Gimundo is based in Los Angeles. To sign up for the free daily newsletter, go to http://www.gimundo.com.
