Leading up to Thanksgiving, each day I will blog about what I’m doing to be more grateful. I invite you to join me, and to share your thoughts, observations, suggestions and ideas.
Day 15: How do you express your gratitude?
The GratiDudes made this video below encouraging people to first make a daily list of the things you’re grateful for — then to do a dance about that gratitude.

The dance looks a lot like “Where the Hell is Matt?” but whether the approach is brand new, it struck me that dancing might be a great way to express feelings that are perhaps hard to put into words.
Do you feel like you need to do something more to celebrate your gratitude? What helps you express your gratitude?

You know, that’s a dance I could actually do! (Since, in real life, I dance worse than Elaine Benes.)

Ben Franklin’s morning prayer:
“O Powerful Goodness,Bountiful Father, Merciful Guide: Increase in me that wisdom which discovers my truest interest. Strengthen my resolutions to perform what that wisdom dictates. Accept my kindnesses to thy other children as the only return in my power for thy continual favors to me.”
And then he would do a lively jig that was about 70 years ahead of it’s time. I mean, crap…. This particular jig wasn’t widely performed until the 1848 Whig convention in Baltimore.
