Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer
Yesterday, many of us paused to celebrate one of the most transformative emotions we can experience... gratitude. And while the Thanksgiving holiday gives us a beautiful reminder, we don't need a special occasion to tap into this incredible power. Gratitude is available every single moment—and it’s the gateway to creating the life you truly want.
When you choose to appreciate what’s here now—big joys, small comforts, and everything in between—you shift your entire energy. You begin to see more good, attract more good, and feel more good. What you focus on with emotion expands… and gratitude is one of the fastest ways to amplify your blessings.
Start Your Day in Gratitude
Before you even step out of bed, take a moment to appreciate what’s supporting you:
your warm blanket, the softness of your pillow, the loved ones in your life, the roof above you, the breath you’re breathing. Whisper a gentle “Thank you” or “I love you” and let that feeling expand.
Then say to yourself:
“Today is the best day of my life. I smile, I laugh, and I enjoy every moment.”
Carry that energy with you. Let gratitude guide your thoughts, soften your reactions, and brighten your day. When you focus on appreciation, the smile comes naturally.
Gratitude Nourishes Your Body and Mind
Science backs it up—gratitude doesn’t just feel good; it changes you physiologically:
Lowers blood pressure — Patients who counted blessings weekly showed notable drops in systolic readings.
Reduces depression — A gratitude journal decreased symptoms by over 30% and boosted sleep, energy, exercise levels, and overall well-being.
Increases energy — Studies show a strong correlation between gratitude and vitality.
Improves sleep — Better sleep quality (+29%), faster sleep onset (+20%), and longer sleep duration (+14%).
As gratitude researcher Robert Emmons famously said: “If you want to sleep more soundly, count blessings, not sheep.”
A Gentle Reminder
You create your world through how you feel. Gratitude lifts you into a place where joy, clarity, and abundance naturally flow.
Whether or not you celebrated Thanksgiving, I hope your day was filled with warmth and happiness. I write this with great love and gratitude for the abundance of joy that you bring to my life!
Have an absolutely magical week full of love, gratitude and fun, fun, FUN!
