Thankfulfor Moms

On May 4th, 2010, we asked members of the Thankfulfor.com community to start posting why they were thankful for a mother in their lives.We also told them we would select a number of our favorites to be included in a special ebook about moms. So from May 4th through May

9th, members posted beautiful words about their mothers, wives, grandmothers and other special women. This book is the result.

Thankfulfor.comEveryone has been told at one time or another to “count your blessings”..

When you really make an effort to think through...

- all the things in your life, the people around you, daily experiences, food you eat, items in your possession

- how things got from wherever they came from to you- what your life would be like without all of the above

...gratitude emerges.

 And when you experience real gratitude, truly feeling thankful for it all and the people or circumstances that made it all possible, your

perspective on things shifts a li ttle. That shift can make profound differences in how we see ourselves and the world around us. Suddenly, we

may realize we have more than we thought we did. We may see others in a different light. We may even realize that we have more to give.

 The concept of gratitude has become a real subject of study, and is proving to be a fundamental cornerstone of deep, inner happiness.

Gratitude journals help people cultivate a habit of gratitude (exercising it like a muscle) and sharing gratitude can be contagious.

 That’s what Thankfulfor (http://thankfulfor.com) is all about. We invite you to come experience our public stream of gratitude, start your own

 journal, broadcast your gratitude to Twitter & Facebook, or just enjoy some of the posts we’ve curated into this book.

..my mom. I'm 49 and her

obligations to me expired many

years ago, yet she is still the

first person to offer to help me

whenever I need it. I never fully

understood the concept ofselflessness until I realized that

my mom has actually

personified it her whole life.-thunderpigg

I am so thankful for my mom, who stayed home

and loved us, made homemade jam,homemade icecream on birthdays, and cheered

for us when we were in sports. She is who I look 

to for advise about mothering. I am so thankful

she taught me how to make homemade bread,noodles, and wonderful baked goods. She is the

best Mom God could have given me.- GodsGirlAngie
