Thankfulness is conducive to bounty, gratitude brings about prosperity. I have read much about the unique and somewhat unexpected relationship between between these concepts. There are times when I deny this inevitability and then times when I remember and experience the confirmations that flow from simply being grateful. I often get caught up in the web my ego spins and forget. Heedless to the invisible forces of spiritual laws that operate at all times. Today let me list the bounties of my life:
~that my middle son has graduated from High School
~that my husband is taking a more active role in taking care of himself
~that I am enjoying watching Downton Abbey with my mother
~that my older son and I continue to work on our relationship even when it is difficult
~that the insect bite I got yesterday in the garden is not bothering me that much as it heals
~the healing properties and sweetness of cinammon and clove tea
~the prospect of resuming walking with a friend
~cultivating and open and loving relationship with a friend to discuss racial unity, frankly
~that I get to spend time with children in a spiritual education class each week
~the awakening power of saying prayers at dawn with friends
~that my youngest son did so well in school this past year and is moving closer to his goals
~that I have taken the time to write this list today and it has lightened my heart.
