The Gratitude Stone

Hey

i have done the same myself, whilst at the beach a few years ago I picked a few different stones up and made my own set of runes with them, they are very pretty and all different colours, shapes and designs. I still use them every now and then and connect very well with them, they are gifts from mother nature and work just as well as bought grattitude stones

Ahhh, old thread. Hehe.

Anyways, I do firmly believe that its where and how you got the stone, and how special it is to you that matters, rather than what kind it is.

I have this weird, flattish like river stone that reminds me of the summer of grade 9. Bittersweet but one of the best years of my young life.

I don't think I have a gratitude stone.. yet.

Aww Chronata!! What a beautiful reminder your thread is to cherish our day, our life, the planet, Universe and All That Is. The Heart Rocks on Snake Road is an awesome story! Blessings!

What a lovely post too, Fudugazi. I feel the same as well - every rock and stone - each pebble, a story, an individual, an intellegence.

MCsea! Im sure you have come across some beautiful rocks, stones and elements in your time - to study them so intimately as you do, what a fantastic job!

What a wonderful world!

I love these stories, I have been using the Graditude for a few weeks now. As I get up and through the day.
I have a story that is not stones....I did not think of the Secret of sharing but just felt terribly drawn to give. I have just finished Radiation for Breast cancer, I will be fine...the gowns you have to wear leave lots of gaps and I finally painted a clothes pin pink with a rose ribbon on it. I got a bit carried away and took the others in and handed them out to new friends that need one also. I am thinking of buying more clothes pins and painting more to take in for my check up.
Now I need to find a stone. We have lots of shells but few stones here in Florida, it will take a bit or maybe a trip to the beach will bring me a blessed one.
I have had a habit of picking up stones from places that we travel to.
I usually add them to the garden but now I am thinking they should have an honored place.
thanks all of you for the wonder ful stories.

I've just stumbled onto this thread, though I have not finished reading every post yet. What a wonderful story, Chronata & Ruby Red Slippers! I LOVE rocks/stones, and like someone else mentioned, I am always picking them up right from the road, or creek---where ever I happen to be.

My husband often laughs at me, because I do this---and I leave them all around our home and gardens. I have rocks from around the homes we lived in, and ancestors have lived in too---and I seem to always remember which rock came from where. I just love them. I also purchase crystals--some beautiful polished colored gems, but even the plain dirty brown looking ones have as much, and sometimes more magic in them as far as I'm concerned.

I love those stories though, and I'm going to also start my own grateful stone give away! What a lovely story and gift to give to folks! Thank you for sharing & for everyone who shared a post on here!

What a fantastic idea. My friend and her daughter are in the process of opening a metaphysical shop in a couple of weeks. I am going to pass this idea on to her and see what she thinks. I am going to give her the first bag to get her started.Thanks everyone for such a wonderful idea.
