August 28 … Giving the Gratitude
This morning (or if need be the night before), go outside your home and gather a small bag of rocks (any rocks will do, and yet the more unusual &/or beautiful, the better). Bring them inside, choose 18 of the “prettiest” ones, and wash them thoroughly (rubbing them thereafter with a pleasant smelling essential oil – e.g. lavender, orange, sandalwood, etc. is optional) … Thereafter, during the day distribute three (3) of these “Gratitude Stones” to friends and another three (3) to associates at work/school. This afternoon, take the remaining twelve (12) stones and give them to twelve (12) complete strangers. If asked, inform any or all of the 18 recipients that the stones are to be carried in their pockets, and that every time they happen to touch their stone, they are to remember something for which they are thankful – and then act accordingly towards others thereafter.
