The Grace of Gratitude

practicing gratitude re-MINDed me of

SOMETHING ESSENTIAL

In my quieting pause this morning, gratitude filtered its way into my
beingness! It was quite exciting.
Sure I consider myself a grateful person
and in this pause, I expressed my gratefulness for my new tax guy,
my brothers, our Pause helpers, yet this was unique in that
I was opened from within to a BIGGER GRATITUDE if you will.

In this experience, I was shown that being grateful is important
as it allows LOVE to enter more fully into my awareness
in the ordinariness of daily life. When my new tax
guy showed up I felt a deep sense of peace and calm.
With taxes? How cool is that?

Beyond that, I find the current events of this world, to be
strikingly disturbing in that darkness is making itself known
on a bigger scale.

A SLIPPERY SLOPE

Yet, I LEARNED in this pause, to not be pulled into
the darkness, the fear, the hate, while I am observing it.

ONE WAY WE CAN KEEP FROM BEING
PULLED INTO DARKNESS

Practice gratitude because gratitude will keep me
aware of LOVE and my part in LOVE’s extension.

Part of my part is simply to be grateful.
