The Power of Gratitude

​When we start each morning and end each day giving thanks for the blessings in our lives, no matter how large or small, we set up energy pathways to the Creative Spirit, the source of the All. These are not only expressions of our hearts’ thankfulness for the experiences we are having on this plane, but by showing gratitude we are also inviting more blessings to gravitate toward us, because the pathway for reciprocal energies is opened by our giving thanks. We can find our way to expressing gratitude for even the smallest things: for the sun shining or the rain falling, for the sound of a loved one’s voice or the rustle of the autumn leaves before they release their hold on their branches and gently fall to the ground, for the brilliant colors of a sunset or the stars that shine in the darkness of night. We can even give gratitude for the opportunity to serve others with a smile, or a hand, or a prayer. In giving thanks for the smallest aspects of our lives, we invite the blessings that are meant to be ours. Namaste!
