Gratitude and Abundance

I am grateful every day, not just today; but since today is Thanksgiving and people tend to focus their gratitude on this day, today is appropriate for this email where I'd you to consider what you are grateful for.

Living live in gratitude and abundance is not something you do once a year or just on a certain day of the week when you can schedule it in; living in gratitude and abundance is something we should do every second of every day. We all have our maladies, our trials, our tribulations, that which binds us in many ways can also be the catalyst to setting ourselves free. These challenges vary between each person, some are much harder than others, and some people can handle some things that others simply could not, but in every case, there is an opportunity to learn to give, to show and to share our gratitude and abundance.

When we accept these things as tools for us to use so that we may grow inside and become a better person, we not only change our perceptions, we change ourselves, our own world and the world-at-large. Accepting these as tools in and of itself is a lesson and can be rather challenging for some people to overcome and see it in this way; but trust me when I say it makes all the difference in the world.

The difficulties in life, (and we all have them), are blessings whether we realize it or not. Life without challenges would be rather boring, and we all have these in our lives for good reason... so that we as spiritual beings may grow and learn who we are and to help us become who we wish to be.

When we actively live our life in gratitude and abundance, with the flowing positive energy we focus, we attract that which we give, that which we are, and thus we not only receive within, but we have even more to give from within to the service of others.

I am grateful for the love of my life, my soul mate Vicki, as well as that of my family and friends.

I am grateful to be cancer-free since April 2001.

I am grateful for my wonderful job and all of the opportunities it has presented me.

I am grateful for being laid off from both of my last two jobs because I have become better because it it.

I am grateful for being able to earn my IT certifications.

I am grateful for all that I am, all that I have, all that I have been blessed with, all that I will be blessed with, and most importantly of all, all that I will be able to bless others with.

May you know your blessings on this and on every day.
