So thankyou to you to for reminding us of the basics. I do give thanks everytime I take a nice hot shower, and also everytime I flush the loo. Keep up these nice reminders. THANKS

Dearest Ed & Deb, Recently i remembered an expression that my mother used to say at times when 'odd' things would happen - "The Lord works in mysterious ways." So one thing that i am very thankful for is that the Lord/Universe acted when it did by causing the financial crisis to occur while Bush was still in office before the elections. If this had waited 6 months we would most likely have McCain and his side kick in office to solve a problem they admittedly knew nothing about resolving. I am very thankful that Obama took on the challenge and allowed the rest of us to rise above whatever biases we held. Is this an actual shift in consciousness? I am thankful for whatever it is as it is a very good start and reassurance that there are many that can accept others. I'm an American living in Asia and watch the international euphoria over this election and can say without a doubt that the rest of the world is even more thankful than those in the US for the outcome of this election. Thank you all for the outpouring of awareness and love. The best way to end this crisis is to not participate in it - at least not mentally. Have fun and enjoy what we have in this glorious earth that is ours to enjoy. All will be better because this happened - it is already started.

This reminds me of when I had a blackberry at my last job. I would use it as my alarm in the morning and after it went off, immediately I'd start checking my email, all while still under the covers. The only way I broke this habit was in realizing that this was no way to start my day, and I started instead taking a moment to have some gratitude. I've lost the blackberry, but thankfully kept the habit of waking up in this way.

Dear Ed and Deb you've done it again ,you are both wonderful Thank you for being you and for making me realize how very lucky I am. I see a lot of the comments you have received and every one feels the same wa how wonderful.
