Amid the chaos and uncertainties of life, I release my worries and bring myself back to peace by giving gracious thanks for all of the beautiful blessings and simple pleasures that life offers in kind. Because there is so much wonder and beauty blooming through all of the misfortunes in this world. And even when there is little we can do about the darkness around us, there are two things for certain we can always take control of – our own mindset and our awareness. Shifting into a mindset of gratitude by focusing our awareness on the lighter parts of life gives way to more Light and allows even more beauty to enter our reality.
So let us give thanks for all of the lovely things in our life, no matter how small. Let us take notice and appreciate all of the wildflowers and plants growing in the concrete; and let us keep in mind that the seeds of that plant may find its way to a nice patch of soil, where the next generation may thrive in the abundance of nutrients offered by fertile grounds.
I will start by giving thanks for the powerful Sun that rises anew every day and for the majestic Moon that takes its place in the sky every night. I am grateful for each breath I draw and for the plants whose oxygen fills each cell in my body with life. I am grateful for Mother Earth and for the delicious sustenance gifted to fuel my sacred vessel. I am grateful for the love of my family and friends and for my blessed mother and her unwavering support of me. I am grateful to my Ancestors and the Angels for their fierce protection of me, and to all my Spirit Guides for their Divine instruction and guidance. And I am so grateful to Source for creating me and instilling in me this Holy purpose.
One response to “Gratitude”
Gratitude can serve as a powerful anchor to help keep us in the Present moment – to help keep us grounded and fully immersed in the world around us. We not only become more mindful and aware through Gratitude, but with each ‘thanks’ we give our blessings are multiplied by the Universe/Heavens.
