Dear Friend,
Today I want to share a short poem with you that I wrote many, many years ago. I think these timeless poems are ever alive and worth remembering:
Show Me How to Be Grateful
Show Me How to Pray
Show Me How to Appreciate Life
In Every Single Way
It is wonderful to be Grateful when good things happen.
It is powerful to be Grateful when seemingly bad things happen and we can stay open and see the Gifts in them.
Those Gifts always show us more of who we are and shake us out of our dense and limited perception of ourselves.
Ultimately, we realize that who we are is Gratitude Itself and does not depend on any outer circumstances.
I am Grateful – I am Gratitude.
Today I would like you to share anything that you are grateful for today. It can be a very simple thing. Maybe just looking at a beautiful scenery, or being met with a smile. The outer circumstances can either spark the experience of gratitude, or reflect it back to you.
Paying attention to what is good in your life, opens up the door for more good to ‘show up’ in your life. I remember a spiritual teacher from my past, Barry Long, said: What you acknowledge you get. What you don’t acknowledge, you don’t get. He even went on to say, that because we are not acknowledging Nature it is disappearing. Every time we acknowledge the beauty in our life, we open up for more of it into our life. Collectively we can make a difference by acknowledging the good, the beauty, Nature, a smile and then start noticing a change in our world.
ALL Love,
Pernilla
PS What are you Grateful for?
