Gratitude Attitudes Becoming Practice

I'm currently reading an amazing book. The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are. Your Guide To A Wholehearted Life by 
I highly recommend it.  In part of the book she speaks about Gratitude Attitudes and since I'm in the midst of a 365 on Gratitude Attitudes I wanted to share a part of what she says about them and the practice of Gratitude.
"For years, I subscribed to the notion of an 'attitude of gratitude.'  I've since learned that an attitude is an orientation or a way of thinking and that 'having an attitude' doesn't always translate to a behavior....So, what does a gratitude practice look like?  The folks I interviewed talked about keeping gratitude journals, doing daily gratitude meditations or prayers, creating gratitude art, and even stopping during their stressful, busy days to actually say these words out loud: 'I am grateful for...'  When the Wholehearted talk about gratitude, there are a whole bunch of verbs involved.  It seems that gratitude without practice may be a little like faith without works - it's not alive."
