[Missgawjussme]

THIS IS CUUUUTE !! I am gratful for it :)

[Smileyyy21]

This is the funniest thing ever. My nieces come up with the most funniest dances and are always so happy. Sometimes I rethink my childhood and remember how i always had a smile on my face. These people dancing remind me of a bunch of kids. It's good to see the kid in you at times because it reminds you that your suppouse to be happy and smile all the time.

[alessandrafineart]

what a great video. I would love to see every community, organization (from churches,PTA, girl scouts, Navy Seals, Ex taliban , etc. do a version of this and upload it to you tube. Then, on Dec. 21, 2011 and Dec.21, 2012, every person in the whole world will be doing this instead of worrying about what might befall us! Let's make bumper stickers and promote it!! Yah

[yavoneh]

Hey, this is my SCOOP A DOOP dance I do to my dog (really!!!), my dog runs all over knowing I am going to eventually scoop her up!! Cool dance though.

[LtGunny]

red head-luling

[ThatGuitarChick]

You can't watch this and not smile. Even better, you can't do the dance, and not feel at least a little happier. I bet if in a traffic jam, if everyone got out of their cars and did the dance for five seconds, the anger would stop for a few minutes!

[choclosteve]

good one

[SFSilvi]

This is awesome!! I'm dancing more and more

[JonChase]

Now this is what *I* think is the real secret. Have fun!

[Arwengurl662]

[wan2beapopstar]

My whole office does the gratitude dance! We love it, it starts our day off right! If you put out great energy that's what you'll get back!

[BradiDude]

Re: Dancing with no legs...

Anybody can do the Gratitude Dance, regardless of whether they have arms or legs. We have had all sorts of people doing the dance, including a woman on a Cruise Ship who was 103. How you do the dance is not important, it is the energy and feelings of gratitude behind the dance that really matter!

PS Many Thanks for all you supporters who are posting the dance on their Facebooks, Myspaces, etc...The Gratitude Movement is Rock'n!

Much Peace & Gratitude

BradiDude

[liquidpencils]

Heeeeey, Cooool, I see Gordie & Jesse maybe? :P

This is an aweeesome daance (:

[CyCoChili]

There's always a Grat -i- Freak in every crowd - Kewl!

[gaystereotype]

It's easy for a young healthy blond guy to tell everyone else to do the "gratitude dance". What about the people who don't have legs?

[LindasHere55]

I see You Gordie and is that Jesse? I love this...and am doin' "the Gratitude Dance" here on Vancouver Island. Yippee!

[78volvo]

i also have jambanja's CD. they seem to draw quite a crowd every sunny day downtown.

[discoversomethingnew]

YYEEAAAHH VICTORIA.

i was watching this, unaware that it was here, and then i noticed where everything was and yelled at my mom that it was here.

2-5-0!

[hinter64]

I could be wrong, but this was made before "where the hell is matt"... 2007 versus 2008. Either way, both put smiles on faces.

[jubalee13]

heard about this on CBC Almanac. It makes everyone smile =) and laugh!

[cooper402]

saw you guys in the paper today

[pitchforkca]

I am grateful to "where the hell is matt " for giving you this great idea -

[peaceout681]

Saw you guys on GMA. it was great :) I had to come check it out. im glad it did. thanks again <3

[Geenona]

Nice and really funny too! We have every cause to thank God for life and all the very little things that make it interesting. I like the music. Does anyone know the artists or group that created the music?

[alvsjo]

Watching this makes me feel better than a cup of mocha coffee with whip cream & sprinkles on top!!!

(and that's stiff competition!).

//(*_*)\\

[DJDizzy113]

[OddyKnocky]

[whereiscasey]

This video is fantastic. As a student in the field of Positive Psychology, I am delighted to run across this project!  Keep 'em comin'!

[CHELLE0774]

LOVE this! I'm grateful for so many things, but I'll just mention a few here: Being adopted by wonderful parents when was a baby, being reunited with my entire biologicaly family for ten years now, for God giving me the strength to cope with losing six loved ones, including my parents and uncle and breaking both of my arms in 2008

I do the gratitude dance almost every day. I definitely make my list of what I am grateful for EVERY day. Thoughts become things....choose the good ones!

[rdhawke]

[rawmark]

Totally love it guys. Kinda looks like the bad, Matt Harding dance, but it's loads of fun and I admire you both for celebrating the joys that life has to offer. Most folks in their twenties don't know how to do it so you've got a jump start on the rest of your peer group! Congrats.

[celebrating108]

Gratidudes! You two rock! How fun it was doing the GRATITUDE DANCE with you in Mexico!

[Rockysingh121]

This reminds us of the things we have in Life :-)

[ThermidorMercury]

[fcsiszar]

What a wonderful way to show your gratitude!

[Joyful0ne]

Awesome! Thank You!

[Keelness]

I used this for a Sunday school lesson for persons from 55-75 years of age. They loved it and danced at the end of my lesson. It made them feel great!!

[1ninalicious1]

the best video i ever saw <3 love it

[alchemist1919]

Loved it!

[HathaArts]

i feel like a cornball doing this the thing i get out of it is the fact that i can totally laugh at myself and not take me too seriously, gratitude is a serious matter to be laughed at because after all why is it we take gratitude for granted? u see,we have to be TOLD in this day and age to be GRATEFUL omg where did people start turning down the wrong path? but hey anything to quake us out of the old vibrational holding pattern and get to the new level is whatever it takes right& dance on then.
