Celebrate the Human Experience by Giving Thanks at Mealtime. Try It! Count your blessings.  Today there is a deep hunger for connection with ourselves, with nature, and with the process of birth and death itself says life coach and author M. J. Ryan, creator of the  New York Times  best-selling  Random Acts of Kindness  series. What her book,  A Grateful Heart , is offering from a wide variety of spiritual disciplines and secular perspectives, is a way of satisfying that hunger by setting aside time before we eat to acknowledge the blessings in our lives. When we give thanks, we take our place in the great wheel of life, recognizing our connection to one another and to all of creation. Choose from 365 blessings and give thanks.   A Grateful Heart  is a tool to help readers reclaim and enrich the tradition of pausing before the evening meal to give thanks. Drawing from a range of religious and cultural practices, the 365 blessings in this book celebrate friendship, love, peace, reconciliation, the body, nature, joy, and appreciation of the moment. This illustrated feast for the mind includes quotations from Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, Gandhi, Rumi, Mother Teresa, Helen Keller, Denise Levertov, the Bible, and the Tao Te Ching. M. J. Ryan wrote  A Grateful Heart  to encourage families to share the experience of being part of something greater than themselves.  With that in mind, the book includes 365 traditional and nontraditional blessings organized into four sections corresponding to the seasons.
