Gratitude

Wayne Dyer in "The Power of Intention" mentions this word about 50 bazillion times. Sarah Ban Breathnach talked about a gratitude journal in her book, "Simple Abundance."
For us to manifest that which we want into our being, we must always remember to be thankful for what is.

I like the idea of a gratitude journal - 3 to 5 items a day. Sometimes it could be big things and other days it's just being grateful that I made it out of bed. I started one in high school...it made mention of getting ice cream with a friend after school or going to pick out a prom dress. Well, times have changed, and the journal reads a bit different now. I'm thankful for the friendships and the food still but also sometimes just for the starry sky on an early morning walk. It's a reminder of connection to people, to nature, to form but also to the formless.

On that note, thank YOU for taking the time to read this message today :)
