it spreads the energy!! it draws people to you!! it is like a light!! in a way, it also helps keep me accountable as I aspire to live the life of gratitude…not simply feel it.
It has been my experience that whenever I verbally express my gratitude and sense of joy at a given moment and naming the source, that others around me do the same. “Look at that beautiful sunrise!” Or, “Did you hear that sweet sound? What kind of bird was it?” Before I know it, others within the sound of my voice become part of gratitude expressed.
