#4 Be Grateful with Carol Banens

Carol Banens: “I am grateful for the gratitude journaling I have done for years. I am also grateful that I continued writing in that journal after my husband died. I did it every night, no matter what. I can remember sitting upstairs with my diary open thinking, 'what am I grateful for?' And I made sure I found something, whether it was my warm bed in the winter or the air conditioning in the summer. 

Grief is about looking back and looking at loss.

People tend not to live in the present moment. We're either worried and thinking about what went wrong, what we should have done or we are busy getting anxious about the future. 

The wonderful thing about gratitude is that we can keep adding it into our day. This is when the joy of life returns.”
