My Gratitude Rock!

My road to becoming the Victor is going well!  Going through my DV information folder and looking at the scene photos is pretty hard.  I started to feel a little blue..then my boyfriend reminded me of the "Gratitude Rock.!"  I was never someone who had such a thing, but I find myself carrying it around with me.  I did not go out and buy a rock with the words gratitude on it. I got my rock when I went for a week to San Diego to see my boyfriend.  We took a walk on the beach in Corona, CA, it was such a beautiful day!! We were both so happy because we were finally able to spend time together.  As we were walking on the beach I looked down and saw this beautiful rock that seemed to be out of place.  I remember looking at my boyfriend and making a comment that the rock was so pretty.  I told him that I was going to take it home with me so I could remember what a fabulous day we had together!  I had the rock on my bedroom dresser so when my boyfriend told me about the gratitude rock I said, "Hey, I have my rock from San Diego! I will use that rock because I was so happy being with you in San Diego! I am grateful for my kid's! I'm grateful for you! I'm grateful that we are working towards our plan of moving to San Diego! My rock already means a lot to me so I'm going to us it!"

Every time I pick up my rock it reminds me to be grateful.  I sit and think about all the things I have to be grateful for!! I find myself picking it up a lot!  You know what? It really does work because it's helping me stay positive and focused!  It reminds me to focus my energy in a positive direction and just be grateful for what I have!  And don't worry about what you don't have.  If you don't have a gratitude rock you might want to look into getting one from a special place.  If you want one send me a message and I will find one for you.  I cut and pasted the information for a gratitude rock below.  All I know is it has helped me and continues to help me stay focused in the right direction!

A gratitude rock can be a powerful reminder to practice gratitude. When we practice gratitude, we bring a focus to the present and our lives become enriched as we center our attention on all of our many blessings. It sounds so easy, but to maintain an attitude of gratitude is often more challenging. 



The basic idea of a gratitude rock or gratitude stone, is simple. You carry it with you, typically in your pocket or purse. Whenever you touch it, you give thanks for something right at that moment. No matter whether you are stuck in traffic, sitting at your desk at work or school, or anywhere else you might be – simply give thanks for something good in your life at that moment.
It is truly amazing how this simple act can create great changes in your life as your perspective and attitude improve. This simple stone will help focus your thoughts, energy and feelings on all of the positive aspects of your life, and you will naturally integrate more gratitude into your life.
Carry it in your pocket or purse for a day filled with gratitude.


I love my gratitude rock and use it on a daily basis!! Thank you baby once again for giving me another tool to use!!
