In Gratitude

Gratitude is a gift you give yourself.  Each time you are aware that an experience or a possession brings you joy or more love into your life, you benefit.  How often do you experience gratitude?  If not at regular moments throughout your day, then you are cheating yourself, depriving yourself of growth.  Do you see the cup as half empty?  Do you entertain the false belief that you have nothing to be thankful for?  Allow us to give you a gift.  Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.  Feel gratitude for those breaths.  They give you the experience of life.  You feel no gratitude for this life?  Stay with us and travel with your mind to the area of your heart.  Focus there.  Now go back to the moment of your birth.  Sit in this memory.  It is still with you.  All of the experiences of your life are in your energy field.  At that moment of your birth you had not yet taken on any of the false beliefs that humans tend to.  Be as the child for as long as it takes to remember how very loved you are, how very worthy, how very perfect, just as you are.  Feel gratitude for the perfect soul who is you.  Feel gratitude for how very much you are loved.  Repeat this process until the many things for which you can feel grateful grow and multiply, and then send the resultant love outward to those who have yet to learn these lessons.
