This is the Moment! by Walter Green
I found out about this book from my sister-in-law. Our family recently celebrated her birthday in Hawaii and she wanted to share with us how grateful she was that we could all be together. She made up little "yearbooks" for each of us filled with pictures, old and new. The books were passed around and we wrote notes to each other like we were in high school. The younger kids didn't quite get the concept but wrote funny and charming messages that I will cherish.
I downloaded This Is The Moment! immediately. I had read The Magic and had felt the change it made in my life when I began to practice gratitude every single day. Walter Green's journey to express his own personal gratitude to people is touching and heartwarming. He traveled around the world seeking out those who had a made a difference in his life to personally thank them.
I learned alot from reading his story. What comes back into our lives from expressing our thanks and gratitude to people, regardless of whether they entered our lives for a moment or for a lifetime, is a million times greater than the energy it will take to say a few ordinary words. Mr. Green lays out a blueprint on how to make gratitude a part of your life. Follow his steps and mold them into your own.
Maybe we don't all have the means to do the kinds of things Mr. Green did, but we all have the time to say a kind word. Gratitude is a very personal journey. A simple thank you to the mailman as he delivers the mail, or to the grocery store cashier as she rings up your purchases of food that will nourish your body, or to your spouse for taking out the garbage is all that it will take to begin to bring gratitude into your life. Start simple and feel the rewards grow in your heart and in your life. Gratitude is a gift. Give it to others and the gift will be yours in return.
