Playfield 1 — the dialog

Reflections, thoughts & comments

This is the place where you can join the dialog for the Playfield 1 exercise.  Just below “LEAVE A REPLY” at the bottom is a dialog box where you can let us know what’s happening in your life now that you’ve been practicing and thinking of 5 or more things you’re grateful for first thing each morning or the last thing at night.  Of course you may want to let other things come up all day long — that’s perfectly fine. We’re practicing and developing a bit of muscle in the Gratitude Department.

This dialog is where the real power lies for all of us that are “Playing in the Fields of Gratitude” together.  This is where Community lives and we can learn from one another. 

What you have to offer really does make a difference for others and vice versa.

Your Reflections, Thoughts, and Comments are a very important part of this Gratitude practice.  It supports you to share with others, it helps others to see what’s going on for you, it supports you to see what’s happening for others, and you can come back and see how this dialog is evolving.

Be sure to bookmark this post so you can come back to leave a comment or read other people’s comments.  You can even comment on other people’s comments.

In the Fields of Gratitude

You have already been to the Fields of Gratitude

So what is the Field that I’m referring to in “Playing in the Fields of Gratitude”?  It’s not really a big mystery or a place where only the devout or the chosen ones get to enter.

You already have been in the Fields of Gratitude.  Whenever you think about something or someone that you are Grateful for, you may have noticed that you feel more open, more caring, more considerate.  It probably shows up as “feeling better”, “feeling good”, or any of a number of feelings that we call positive.

When you express or receive Gratitude (or Appreciation or Acknowledgement) you also feel better.  This is the Fields of Gratitude.

I talk about Playing in the Fields of Gratitude because the intention of what I am up to is for as many of us who would like, to learn how to spend more and more time in this Field.  Like laying in a grassy meadow on an absolutely perfect spring day, just watching all the wondrous things that surround you.  Being at peace in one’s world.

As Robert Browning said in Pippa’s Song:

The year’s at the spring,
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearl’d;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven –
All’s right with the world!

As we continue to play in the Field we will be watching amazing things opening up in our lives and in the lives of others (like you) who choose to play with us.  I can pretty much guarantee this because in the several months that I have we been creating this marvelous adventure, my life has been transforming in ways I couldn’t have imagined.  As I Play in the Fields of Gratitude, amazing things are opening up.  And I’m having so darned much fun!!

Once again we invite you to come and play.  We don’t know how this adventure is going to unfold, but the real fun is in the playing.

Playfully,
