Gratitude for Awareness
There's always something to be grateful for
Another Friday is here and this year is almost over but a new weekend is about to begin. I am not sure how your week has been but I for one have had some experiences that have made me reflect on why things happen, how and when they happen.
Without getting any answers from my reflections, I made my peace with accepting what is, what I can control and leaving the rest to Source. Though I didn’t get a resolution I found that I could learn from the experiences and so I decided to focus on that, remembering that in all things to give thanks for there is always something to be grateful for.
As I contemplated on these things and my decision I realised what a challenge keeping such an attitude can be but I became aware again of my awareness of this and that gave me another reason to express gratitude.
I am not sure how acquainted you are with a gratitude practice or how far in your journey but I also know that sometimes you can experience some things or hit a road block and literally have nothing to be grateful for or so it seems. But there is always something to be grateful for and if you have made it through all that has been thrown at you throughout the year and still don’t know what to be grateful for here are a few of mine:
Grateful for the fact that we are here.
Grateful for the fact that you are in good health
Grateful for the fact that we can move, blink, laugh and scratch an itch.
Grateful for the fact that we still have warm shelter.
Grateful for the fact that we can enjoy meals 3 times a day and even more.
Grateful for the fact that you are able to read this.
Grateful for the fact that you can feel the seasons and temperatures changing, see leaves falling and hear the raindrops.
So, with this in mind I want say I am grateful to you for taking the time to read this and I hope you get into the weekend with a thankful heart knowing that we have made it through so many beautiful and challenging weeks of the year 2023 but with still a couple more to go we can take the time to acknowledge that we are here.
Affirmation: Each morning is a gift and so I will be thankful for the opportunities it brings.
