An Attitude of Gratitude

I open my eyes in the pitch darkness, I purposely keep my room dark since I am a shift worker, and the first thought to enter my mind is, I feel good, wow!  I haven’t woken up feeling good in a while, what an awesome feeling.  I turn on the lamp and sit up, and then I remember the instruction from Pam Grout’s, Thank and Grow Rich, so a little late but better than never I guess, I tell myself that something absolutely awesome is going to happen today, I smile and get out of bed.

What exactly is this awesome thing that will happen in my life today, I don’t know, and I don’t care, I’ll take whatever awesomeness comes along, whenever it comes!  All I know is that I believe it is coming, and that’s good enough for me.

Pam’s book is only one of many tools which have found me recently, tools aimed at teaching me the importance of gratitude in my life and in my healing.  There’s also Joe Vitale’s, Ultimate Law of Attraction Library, audio program, I’ve gotten as far as the section dealing with gratitude, and there’s a wonderful group led by Christopher Jones where I have undertaken to make a list of twenty-one things I am grateful for, for twenty-one days.  All these, and numerous other ‘teachings’have brought gratitude to the forefront of my life, and of my heart, and I am reaping the reward of healing.

I’ve been struggling with a bout of depression, not as bad as it was a year and a half ago, although it has definitely been present since then, and had lost touch with gratitude in my life.  Gratitude is where I needed to be and obviously the Universe, and God has led me here, and the results have been amazing.  I’ve really gotten into this Gratitude thing and I feel wonderful.

As I write this today, I am filled with gratitude for many things which I always took for granted, and I find that I can even be grateful for things like my depression which has prompted me to make necessary changes in my life.  Gratitude has been my lifeline, along with my amazing family and friends, whom I’m deeply grateful for, and I’ve decided it’s going to remain in my life for years to come.

Love you all!
