Take A (One-Way) Ride on the Gratitude Express
What a beautiful ride! Love the scenery! It's all the rave now. Get on board!
Let me express my gratitude for . . .
. . . for the joy of watching my kids grow and learn new things . . . For the sweet beauty that is the relationship developing between them . . . Watching them hug, kiss, help, share, listen, care, inform the other of some cool going-on they know the other wouldn't want to miss, teach, learn, emulate, team up, play games, befriend, bond, be siblings.
. . . for realizations that I still have some small, seemingly trivial little habits that I've always had. Suddenly it will occur to me that something or other was a part of me in childhood as well as now, but I haven't even thought about it since then. It excites the nostalgic part of me to discover these tendencies and bits of personality that I can relate to my younger years.
. . . for the vast, unlimited amount of possibility available at each moment. From a place outside of time I will return and may record my journey in writing. There are many situations that express the wealth inherent in each moment. Perhaps it was a trance, or a dream, or short periods of contemplation or introspection. When I think about all I experienced, felt, saw, thought, heard, sensed during such a short period, I become truly fascinated by our ability to experience the world in just a moment. When you think about the ripple effects of every decision you make, major or mundane, you realize that you change the entire world in every moment. Realizing this makes me appreciate the richness I hold now. And now. And now. I am rich. I am wealthy. I contain all possibility. I make every moment have its worth by acknowledging it. By *living* that moment. I make the most of every moment. Each is beautiful. Always meaningful. Possibilities are plentiful. Blessings are bountiful. Purely Spiritual. I am so in awe of it all.
