Of all the gifts to receive and give this holiday, there is none more precious to me than the gift of gratitude. And it is truly the gift that “keeps on giving.” I’m a big believer in making lists—“to-do” lists, grocery lists, lists of problems to tap on, etc.

Why not make a gratitude list of what you are grateful for in 2008? I am always amazed by how prolific people can be when it comes to negative things. If I said, “What did you hate in 2008,” most people could quickly come up with a very long list of grievances. But gratitude? That might take some thought, and the list might be a whole lot shorter.

If you need inspiration, here is my partial list:

1. I am grateful that I survived another year, healthy and happy.
2. I am grateful that I have a few very dear and trusted friends.
3. I am grateful that my extended family lives nearby.
4. I am grateful that my 92 year old Mom is alive and well and still “with it.”
5. I am grateful that I saw 9 deer frolicking on a frozen lake today.
6. I am grateful that my friend who lives in Israel visited me this year.
7. I am grateful that my friend from grammar school found me on the EFT website.
8. I am grateful that I laughed until I cried more often than I just cried.
9. I am grateful that I witnessed the election of our first African American President.
10. I am grateful that I taught many people how to benefit from EFT.

What’s on your gratitude list? Please leave some examples on my blog. Also, please let me know if you would like to join us in January for a free teleclass for breast cancer survivors. I have decided to extend an invitation to the class to anyone who has been impacted by breast cancer, whether you are a survivor, a caregiver, or know someone who has dealt with the disease.

Please e-mail me if you would like to attend the teleclass or listen to the recording. Survivors will get first priority, of course, but I would like to extend the invitation to 50 more people who may have been touched by breast cancer in some way. E-mail me at: kiya@eft-tap.com and I will send you the date, time, and call-in information.

Blessings,

Kiya
