“Standing Knee Deep in a River & Dying of Thirst” – how appropriate a description for how so many of us live our lives, isn’t it? Are you feeling parched while standing knee deep in a river? Are you like I was, feeling depressed in spite of all of the blessings that surround you?
“The revelation that we have everything we need in life to make us happy but simply lack the conscious awareness to appreciate it can be as refreshing as lemonade on a hot afternoon.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
Make a list of everything you feel grateful for today. Share some of it here with us if you will (comments button at left), and tell us how your spirit changed when you took the time to recognize all of your many blessings.
Oprah recommends keeping a gratitude journal – a separate journal where at the end of every day you write down five things that you are grateful for that day. She feels that the action of writing them down has more impact than just thinking them with your mind or speaking them with your mouth. How many of you will start a gratitude journal with me today? I’m willing to bte that that gratitude journal, coupled with becoming your authentic self, is going to contribute to making 2014 the best year you have ever had!
Shalom!
