Being Thankful For What You Are NOT Really Thankful For

I had gotten out of the habit of saying Grace before mealtime. I missed that pause to reflect and be thankful for all that we have. So, I started saying “Grace” over my dog’s food. It gave me that ritual of pause, reflection and letting the feeling of gratitude emerge. (It was also good impulse training for my dog.) It was a ritual we both anticipated and enjoyed.
