A Reminder To Myself

Posted on Jul 3rd, 2007 by DezinerGirl : Peace Maker DezinerGirl
Love-and-gratitude

Gratitude.....such an easy thing to do and yet such an easy thing to forget to do.

However, many a potential misundersanding and mis-steps have been avoided when I simply remember to stop and be thankful for whatever lesson the universe has chosen for me learn.  (and it seems of late that the Universe has an unlmited supply of lessons it wishes to send me!)

The main lesson so far---- when I'm grateful, I cannot be angry...or hurt...or sad....or anxious.....or lonely.....or afraid......or confused......or.....anything but grateful.  Just as darkness canot exist in the presence of light, fear cannot co-exist with gratitude.

Amazing isn't it..... the capabilities of that ONE word....the ills that one word can eliminate!

As long as I remember to be grateful I can look only forward to a life where learning very valuable lessons is seen as an adventure.

Thank You Dear Alexis,

Remember it's not the word. Many of us are taught from a young age to say the words and many people, many times simple say them for social fuction, with little to no feeling of gratitude. 
You don't really have to remember to feel it, you either do or don't. Then we choose to express it or not. Some people do not feel much gratitude because they do not see the gift (or the good) in many experiences. To see the gift in any experience we need to step out of auto mode (where we may just see the negative) and look at it from a different perspective. This is what many have trouble with. 

I am truly grateful for your loving presence here at zaadz.
Much Love & Peace
