About the author
To my loving husband Richard
In everything give thanks. An attitude of gratitude is most salutary, and bespeaks the realization that we are now in heaven…
We have to become quiet and, in the solitude of our own thought, discover for ourselves what it is we actually believe; and then proceed to put that faith into creative action through patterns of thinking built around that faith…
We do not change all of the patterns of our thought in a moment. Rather, it takes place little by little, until gradually the old thought patterns become transformed into new ones…the operation of which we do not see but the manifestation of which we do experience…
Ernest Holmes
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…
it is the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
Therefore I say to you, anything you pray for and ask, believe that you will receive it, and it will be done for you.
Mark 11:24
Trust in the Lord;
and he shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4
…the worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
Buddhism
One upon whom we bestow kindness
But will not express gratitude,
Is worse than a robber
Who carries away our belongings.
African Traditional Religious
Forward
Dr. Ernest Holmes writes, Repeating an affirmation is leading the mind to that state of consciousness where it accepts that which it wishes to believe.
If our actions or thoughts vary from what we say we believe, making affirmations daily will be the spiritual detectors indicating where we are off course. It is then we correct our thinking and actions, and move easily within God to our heart’s desire.
Dr. Clancy Blakemore has given us a wonderful gift in Rx for Joy; 365 GRATITUDE AFFIRMATIONS. She is uniquely qualified to pen such a treasure given that she represents the qualities of gratitude and boundless joy as anyone who has been privileged to know her would gladly affirm. Follow this prescription and live your life instead of a mere joyless meager existence.
Rev. Dr. Lloyd George Tupper
Acknowledgments
I am grateful for my dear husband Richard, who was always willing to say Yes
to my requests for reading the most recent version of the book and consistently cheers me on.
I am grateful for my family and friends who accept everything I write, with enthusiasm, joy and encouragement.
I am grateful that over 30 years ago a dear friend, Karen McKee, invited me to visit the Huntington Beach Church of Religious Science. Even though I didn’t do church,
I found myself returning Sunday after Sunday for inspiration, and I experienced a community of bright, caring people. My feeling was, I have come home!
I am grateful that the Senior Minister, Dr. Peggy Basset presented the spiritual message of unity and love, with delightful grace, humor and vitality. Classes followed and soon I would express: This is a spiritual philosophy for successful everyday living, and it works for me!
Years later, Dr. Peggy became my mentor through seminary and hired me into my first position as a minister.
I am grateful that so many friends were willing to proof and offer support during the writing process: Joan Hyde and Billie Shawl for their creative input and loving encouragement. David Ziessler and Ann Helgerman offered their editorial suggestions and proofreading. Nancy Brunson wiggled her nose
and created computer clarity and much assistance.
I am grateful that our grandson Tyler Pagan shared his awesome talent with the sketch that appears throughout the book. Thanks to Larry Ficken, who is following his bliss and offered his lovely cover photography.
This book project would certainly echo, It takes a village!
Change Your Thinking, Your Feelings and Transform your Experience…
One Gratitude Affirmation a Day!
A delightful song from The Sound of Music
reminds us to Begin at the very beginning, that’s a very good place to start…
Each year I create something different as a gift for our family. After writing 365 affirmations of gratitude, I shared the booklet with some friends. It was suggested that others might like to have a book focused on gratitude, as there are so many benefits experienced through acknowledging the blessings in our lives every single day. Some of the benefits people feel are, less stress,
