Although I do not post very often, I have been so touched with “gratitude” in these past few weeks that felt inspired to write.  Many things have shifted and changed in my life over the past few months. At this moment I am deeply grateful for all the experiences and events I have been a part of or that have touched me in some way:

My son and daughter-in-law’s amazing wedding (in August 2012). In his speech, my son thanked him for teaching him about “forgiveness.” We never really know what our children pick up from us.
Successfully moving my 80 year old mother to a smaller home after living in the other one for almost 25 years.
So very grateful for all the help we had to move mum: my children and daughter-in-laws, close friends and the movers. There was a lot of work…yet we created special memories together through the laughter and the tears.
Grateful that Mum has wonderful new neighbours who have looked out for her after snowfalls to clear her walkways.
My son and daughter-in-law for continuing to be such amazing new parents.
Playing with my little granddaughter and watching her grow and change… I love it!!!
My daughter’s success in writing her first book! To see her confident and strong, touching the lives of so many people!!! Also for her inspiration, love and encouragement.
For having unexpected magic appear in my life which reawakened such joy, excitement and more. To share with another in a way I have never experienced before. To just be in the present moment…and share in that magic and joy. To bask and share the energy created. To feel such unexplainable connection with another person.
For learning many things about myself that needed to be released and transformed to become a yet better, more loving and aware version of myself.

For moments that helped me to learn to stayed grounded in faith, trust and my intuition.

One of the most powerful energies we can experience is the effects of gratitude. Feeling deep appreciation and gratitude for anything actually changes how you feel and your own energy.

Gratitude shifts and transforms what we are experiencing. It can turn what we have into enough, and more. It can  turn judgment into acceptance, conflict into understanding, despair into hope…and more. It can turn a regular meal into a feast, living space into a place we call home, a stanger into a friend.

Remember to begin each day of your life with gratitude. Speak words such as, “Thank you, God, for life, for my body, for my family and loved ones, for this day, and for the opportunity to be of service. Thank you, thank you, thank you!” or use your own. And when the day is one, reflect and affirm or write in a gratitude journal the things  you are grateful for from your day.
