What a beautiful idea, simple and profound. I shall try to put this into practice every day.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to thank a health care professional who is caring for my family. There have been more than could be counted through the years. I also extend the deepest gratitude to those who fought for and established a humane and enlightened health care system. It was a long fight that began in the prairies decades ago, until it became a national social contract.

Working on this, one being at a time. Just sent my daughter a text that she will get upon awakening tomorrow, wishing her luck on a big test and telling her she means the world to me.

While I'm at it, you all here at Treeleaf mean the world to me. Deep bows and thank you for your practice [emoji120]

A beautiful reminder. I am going to do one person daily. I cycle loved ones in my meta practice, it will be a great way to enfold them into my practice.

Thank you, Jundo. A very lovely suggestion & "homework." I will begin right now by thanking you, all of the Sangha, and for the inspirational forum. I will add this to my practice on a daily basis...there is so much and so many to be thankful to and for.

This is lovely and very good practice for me in particular. We English are not so good at expressing our emotions effusively!

That said. thank you all for being here. You are an incredibly important part of my life.

In my personal life, I try to thank people often, due to my background and personal history of loss (don't always get a second chance). I will say again, here, that TreeLeaf is my primary spiritual community, I view you as my extended family, and I care deeply about all of you. I'm not one to share myself with people, but i do share myself here (really, it's quite unusual). Wherever i am, TreeLeaf is with me. I am grateful for all that you are in my life. ♡♡

Thank you, Jundo, for this wonderful homework.
I told my mum, how grateful I am for all the different things she tought me, from piano playing, dealing frugally with money, sewing, being creative and resourceful to installing lights and using a drill.
That was not easy for me because the relationship is sometimes challenging for me but I could tell she was really touched and happy ☺
I will tell my partner more often that I am grateful as I am critising him a lot 😶
I tell my son everyday how grateful I am for him being in my life and how much I live him (he is 5).
I will try to incorporate this practice into my everyday practice.

Gassho 🙏

Thank you, Jundo.
I only read this today so will begin by thanking everyone here for always being supportive and encouraging. My practice has grown in ways I didn't expect from my interactions with my Sangha family. I'm grateful beyond words.
Deep bows,
Entai

Thank you all members of TreeLeaf.
This wonderful idea is on my 2do list for tomorow (is a bit late night right now...
Hope it will give great pleasure to some people I love dearly and it certainly will give great pleasure to myself.
Thank you again. You are all great !

Did this yesterday - sent a text message to a friend and told him some of the things I value about him and our longstanding friendship. He responded immediately and was clearly touched. Tonight he told me he's been depressed and struggling with alcohol addiction. I think hearing that he's loved and appreciated probably gave him the confidence to open up. Made me wonder why I don't say these things more often...

Fantastic suggestion.

It's been studied extensively that expressing gratitude is a potent antidote to depression and sadness.
Plus who doesn't like to hear that they are important and appreciated!?

I told my wife and kids how much I love them and that they are perfect exactly as they are.

You guys are pretty awesome too. :-D
