Gratitude Experiment: Day 44

How blessed I feel to have found the practice of proactive gratitude in my life. I know that at any moment, I can turn my attitude around. I can turn my day around. I am not  a victim of circumstance or conditions.  Whatever life presents, I have the choice of discovering…of uncovering…the blessings in any situation.  Then, suddenly I’m filled with joy. I feel blessed and loved by the Divine.  Suddenly I’m lifted out of the muck and mire of human experience and transported to a magical place of miracles.   A miracle, not only that I have found and experience joy and abundance in the midst of a challenge, but also that I am now attracting more of the joy and abundance in my life. I am on the vibrational frequency of joy and abundance…and that’s what I am attracting more of. 

The same is true for each one of us. At any moment, you have the choice to choose what you will experience.  I hope you’ll choose to discover…to uncover…the blessing in every experience.  Then, you will never be a victim again. That’s true freedom.

I am grateful for such a fabulous day…sun shining, cool, moist and sparkling.

I am so grateful for the wonderful dinner with friends…people  who enthusiastically enjoy life!

I am grateful for really good bluegrass music…live.

I am grateful my daughter showed signs of maturity today…handling disappointment with grace as she cheered on others who took the prize. Hurray for her!

I am grateful for that tree today, that is feeling it’s innate “spring-ness” and despite the fact that we have another month of winter, at least, is beginning to bud.  What trust.

Gratitude Experiment: Day 41

I am so grateful for the baby girl who was rescued yesterday…pulled out of the rubble from a collapsed building in Haiti after 68 hours!  And she’s totally fine and reunited with her uncle. What a miracle!

I am grateful for the dinner guest tonight who took us outside to look at the stars.  This astronomy buff helped open our eyes to the miraculous Milky Way.  The constellations and galaxies that are always there every night….but I rarely take the time to notice.

I am grateful for the little rainbows that dance along my bathroom walls in the morning.  I am grateful for the realization that it’s pure Source light refracted in a window which displays its white light in a variety of beautiful colors.  It’s similar to how pure Source expresses as us…a variety of beautiful color and dimension.

As I witness a thing of beauty and allow the feeling of gratitude well up inside me I can feel my consciousness expanding and my world becomes more vibrantly alive. It am getting closer to understanding what a gift life is.  This is the transformative power of gratitude. 

After practicing proactive gratitude for awhile, your world will never be the same.  You will never look at things the same way.  You will seldom overlook the miracles that occur all around us, all the time.  The miracles that most don’t see.  This is how a baby sees the world.  It’s how we all saw the world at one time.  We learn to overlook it. We learn to become immune to the miraculous world around us.  And we can unlearn.

That’s the transformative power of gratitude.
