Dear friends,
Part of a lyric of an old song: “if you’re worried and cannot sleep, count your blessings instead of sheep, and you’ll fall asleep, counting your blessings…”
What blesses you today? Gratitude is the emotion of feeling blessed.
Today I am grateful for artists, musicians, and writers. They give us beauty and rhythm and glorious sounds and words that take us into other worlds. I am grateful for scientists and inventors and architects. They discover, enlighten us, bring meaning into our lives, build structure and provide shelter. I am grateful for doctors, nurses, first responders. They serve to protect us from disease, discomfort, pain and loss.
I am grateful for teachers and librarians, publishers, filmmakers. They insure the future with information and motivation through the avenue of story. I am grateful for the great thinkers of the past who are no longer alive but whose work is our legacy. People like Jesus, Buddha, Einstein, Jobs, Helen Keller, Meister Eckhart, Tesla, Madame Currie and Lincoln . Thousands of lives have been dedicated to the betterment of humanity. I am grateful for my immediate family and the extension of it through dear friends. I am grateful today for my own passion to bring New Thought spirituality into the mainstream of our collective perception. I am grateful for my Center where we celebrate the possible, heal the past and awaken our hearts to our own wholeness.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
Stay tuned in,
