There exists a moment when you awaken into consciousness, but your mind and body have not yet engaged with the external world. In the presence of this moment, worry and fear and grief can’t xo-exist. In this moment hangs the possibility that the email or the phone call or the money will arrive today. In this moment lives the possibility that a gift will arrive that in this moment is unimaginable. When the shadows intrude on your day, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and remember this moment. Have faith that life will bestow this moment on you every day, if you have awareness of it. Let the connection to this moment bring you hope and peace and joy. With gratitude for the gift of the moment, Gretchen #Happy #LifeHack |
The Upward Spiral of Gratitude
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Tecumseh
Gratitude creates an upward spiral. It connects us to what is going well.
Quick! Name seven things you are grateful for! Repeat as necessary.
Life, resilience, purpose, passion, beauty, irreverence, dark chocolate caramels. . . . Gretchen
