law of gratitude

t.h.a.n.k. y.o.u...

one of the most powerful law that remind me that life has its own law. no matter how good u are, there'is something that really 'guide' us in everything. My first thought was.. hey, this law is a lot like 'giving', isn't it? or something that really make you always give something in order to receive something. Someone gives you something, you say thank you.. now you owe them something.. and gifts recycle. somebody said to me - the more you say thank you, the more you receive..

Gratitude is in & of itself an energy. You don't have to be given something 'new & unique' to use this Law. Gratitude carries it's own cause & effect, it's own centering device, & it's own blessing.

Well, way back then, she suggested a good personal growth tool would be to start a Gratitude Journal.
Each night, we were to write down 10 things we were grateful for that day. At 1st I thought maybe my list would be pretty repetitive.. good health, good kids, good weather, good home, good goals. But each night I noticed that my thoughts were expanding beyond the simple 'good' list and I was noticing the fine print in the daily 'beingness' that was was my life.

When I look back through that journal of a year in the life.. I read about some pretty spectacular sunrises and sunsets, as well as violent thunderstorms and piles of snow. I read me when i was a little girls, .. my success in a new degree.. my weight gain and loss.. my shock and awe of an aging 'self'.. my joys and pains of watching my children grow in so many ways.. & the hopes I had for a new relationship. And all of this was spelled out in heartfelt Gratitude. The good, the bad, the ugly.. I was grateful for every lesson, every triumph, every loss. It was making me who I am.

When we express our Gratitude to the Universe, it sends that energetic signal that says, 'I get it!' and we find even more to be grateful for.

Expressing Gratitude calms the inner soul and assures us that we really can 'In all things give thanks..'
Knowing that I am God's experience here on earth, that I am unconditionally loved and supported, that everything works together for my good.. how can I not say a great big THANK YOU!

THANK YOU to you... everyone in my life. THANK YOU  for being my lovely friend, my supportive family, my inspired mentor...  thanks for crossing a path in my life.
