#5 -A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! Gratitude!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Thursday is a day in which we can take stock of the elements in our life that we are grateful for. We actually do take a lot of things for granted. Little things in our life that seem so natural for us to have that we are not conscious that so many other people have a different life experience that finds them in poverty, homeless, addicted to things that have destroyed the quality and vibrance of their lives. We go about our day not empathetically conscious that there are children all over this planet without families to care for them, food and clothing to protect their bodies and sustain their health. How often do we say to ourselves I am so grateful that I don’t have to listen to bombs blasting all around me fearing for my life.
I had a dear friend from Iran who that suffered from PTSD. We became friends as new teachers in a preschool class and co-taught. She was one of the gentlest most loving teachers I ever had the honor of teaching with. The closer our friendship grew, the more she revealed to me the things she had experienced in her own childhood. She was always on guard and hypersensitive about the children we were left to care for. I can’t imagine why in this day and age, children are still experiencing these travesties. We have in this country so much to be grateful for, even as we are being held hostage by a heartless regime.
I am not happy about the state of our country and what is being perpetrated here and across this planet that is causing crimes against humanity, but at the same time I have to pause and be grateful that I have the consciousness and the soul to recognize how blessed I am. I don’t want to take anything for granted. I feel that by living in a state of gratitude it has allowed me the strength to speak out on behalf of those who are not living the life they deserve because of the conditions of a broken humanity. I know this is a little heavy, but I have to write and speak what my soul wants to express.
Today, Thursday, is calling for us to put our gratitude into action. There is something each of us can do today in the fabric of this day to bring to light what we are grateful for and what we want to make our humanity healed and viable. We need to highlight that there is still more beauty, still more possibilities of loving and being loved, still more abundance for all if we but care and share, still more avenues and resources available to fill in the voids and heal the ills that our world is facing. We are not powerless! We are not fragile and impotent! We are not ignorant- we see what we see-we hear what we hear- and we know truth from lies- and evil from good!
Count your blessings and take the time to name them one by one. Show the world what gratitude looks like-feels like – and what living in gratitude reaps not for just yourself but for others. The power of gratitude can move mountains and quiet the angry seas of greed and misuse of fraudulent powers. Each of us have been ordained to be “The Truth and the Light” of the power of Love. Don’t waste it embrace it!
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!
