About your Daily Dose of Gratitude

[BanzaiBonnie]

A friend sent me the link for this yahoo group. I think you'll enjoy and appreciate what it offers. Below is a sample:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gratitude For Your Life In General
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Appreciate anything - even if it seems silly. Look around you for
something to appreciate. Look at a lamp and appreciate Thomas Edison.
Look at the carpet and be glad it's not cement. Look at a chair and be
happy you don't have to sit on the floor all the time. Appreciate
yourself for trying to appreciate. Anything can be appreciated. (Doc
Childre) - www.heartmath.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gratitude For Your Challenges/Challengers
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There must be risk involved for growth because choice is essential to
the development of free will evolution. (The Pleiadians through
Barbara Marciniak, from the book, Path of Empowerment) -
www.pleiadians.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherishing The Moments
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, celebrate being alive. Sing the blood as it rushes through your
veins, bringing vibrant energy to each part of your beautiful body. Be
glad to be alive, just as you are, just as your life is, everything in
its perfection at this moment, exactly as it is. Step outside and look
at the sky. Take a deep breath as you feel your connection with the
great all. Study a leaf, stand under a tree. Feel the vibrant life
force as it pours through each living thing. Feel your connection as
you breathe in the oxygen that the tree gives out, as you feel the
circle of energy and life completing itself through you. Treasure this
moment, for there is no other like it. You, just as you are at this
moment, in this life at this time, are unique in all of the universe.
This moment is here and then it is gone. Capture it in your blood.
Sing it in your body. Feel it vibrantly within you, just as it is,
right now. Let the great force of life be felt within you, through
you, flowing, surrounding, completing, connecting. Be one with it all
in its glory, right now. (Quado through Carrie Hart) - www.quado.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Gratitude For Who You Are
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To Believe in ourselves is a powerful thing. The Universe supports ALL
that WE CHOOSE to believe. Learning how to think in affirmations that
are positive is a great way to continue to love ourselves! These are
statements that you make either aloud or to yourself. Always approve
and accept yourself. You cannot love yourself unless you first,
approve of and accept yourself. Love thy self. You are perfect, whole
and complete NOW, the way you are. You deserve all that you require.
You are worthy, loveable and strong. So bring your love and light to
others by truly loving and respecting yourself, first. (Unknown)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
What We Say, Be, & See - We Become
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear ones, the last and most difficult level to heal is that of your
belief systems. And - cosmic humor here - that level is what commands
your biology! To fully heal and stay healed, to evolve at the DNA
level, requires that your belief system operates at that higher level.
If you harbor doubts or fears, you're not there! We will point out
that once you do attain that level and can hold higher levels of
divine energy within your bodies, it will be effortless. Yes, for you
will be in the flow of universal love, which will provide for all of
your needs at all levels. But you must believe that it can happen. You
must believe, down to your bones, that you can accomplish this. (The
Brotherhood of Light through Edna G. Frankel) - www.beyondreiki.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Neutralizing Negativity
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, if something happens, like somebody calls us on the telephone and
we have a little run-in with someone where we feel negative emotion,
then the process we would offer is "Hum, I feel negative emotion. That
means I've got my pencil in the fan, which means, I am including in my
vibration something that I'd really like to exclude. But there's no
such thing as exclusion. So I'm shouting 'No' at it, including it
anyway, lowering my own vibration, disallowing my Core Energy, and
mucking up my vibration. I don't want to do that anymore. So since I
know what I don't want, what is it that I do want?" And then we would
make the statement of what we do want. (Abraham through Esther Hicks,
G-2/28/97, Napa, CA) - www.abraham-hicks.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Kindness is the Greatest Way to Display your Gratitude
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
(Joseph Joubert)

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Gratitude Affirmation/Intent
(Repeat this affirmation as often as possible throughout your day)
(Write it on a piece of paper and carry around to re-mind yourself)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel deeply fulfilled in all that I do.

1. I'm curious

was everyone busy yesterday and not hanging around DU? Or was my posting this not interesting or helpful? If I know, I can make adjustments in the future.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

I got a call last night from my youngest, who's 18. She's with another family in Hell's Canyon, Idaho. She's pretty miserable because the sun is causing her to break out in hives. Even staying out of the sun, just the heat seems to be causing her to break out. She has seven more days there and won't be home until next Saturday.

4. Didn't see this yesterday, Bonnie, only today, but I have much

appreciation for all of your posts :)!

A big thank you and keep 'em coming!

2. It has been said that

"prayers of gratitude are the most powerful prayers of all."

This is a lovely thread BanzaiBonnie and don't take slowness in response as a slight in any way.

The Sun was approaching Saturn as you posted it and that may have delayed responses but also may give this thread some staying power.

Hope your daughter gets some relief. There is one theory about epithelial problems being representative of imbalances between inner and outer issues or it could be somewhat purgative as well. Maybe when she returns home she can expedite the healing process by taking baths adding 1 part baking soda to 2 parts Epsom Salts (I add lavender oil as well.) It most likely will help.

Here is a prayer I try to say regularly. It has helped me enormously even when I've been down in the dumps and felt silly for being grateful for things I may be sorely lacking but it seems to turn things around fairly quickly. Sorry the formatting's a little messed up.
I really don't know that much about this entity but I do love the prayer.

P'taah explains:

"Beloved, there is no
difference in the
energy of
abundance/lack.
That is the grand
truth. The
difference is in your
perception. When
you are focusing on
lack and need and
have-not, what do
you think is the
underlying emotion?
Need equals fear. A
quick trick to transform your life -- of course this is presuming that you will be in
the embracement of that baby part of you; one does not work without the other --
stop focusing on have-not. For as long as you perceive yourself in need, you are being
in a place of fear.

Shall we give you a beautiful song to sing every day? Indeed, you may create your own
tune but we will give you the words. Are you ready?

Morning Song

From the God/ Goddess of my being I give forth thanks
for the love that I am.For the love in my life
and the love that surrounds me,

thank you.

Thank you for the miracle of life that I am and
thank you for the miracle of life I see reflected all about me.

Thank you for the gift of life that I am.
Thank you for this perfect body, my health and well-being,

thank you.

Thank you for the abundance that I am and
thank you for the abundance I see reflected all about me.
Thank you for the riches and the richness of my life and
thank you for the river of money which flows to me and through me,

thank you.

Thank you for the excitement and adventure of the millions of wondrous possibilities and wondrous probabilities,

thank you.

Thank you for the wonderment and thank you for the joy.

Thank you for the beauty and harmony.

Thank you for the peace and tranquility.

Thank you for the laughter and thank you for the play.

And thank you for the privilege of serving and sharing the gift that I am.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!



And, by the way, all of those things that you have given thanks for do exist in your life. Love is the truth of you and there is not a lot of lack here. Your body is a miracle and is absolutely perfect. You are abundance. How could it be any other way? And all about you in your exterior reality you are surrounded by love, by abundance, by the miracle of life. And you do know about the possible and probable realities --wondrous and limitless. You do know about peace and tranquility; about love and joy and laughter and play. And even if you cannot really grasp it in this Now, you truly are a gift.

Sing this song to your universe each day as you go forth to bathe your body, as you stand beneath the delicious flow of water and your beautiful body is warm and relaxed. The water is crystalline in property and is grandly magnifying, and as you sing forth the words, the sound embraced by the feeling in the Is-ness, in the Now of
being in total abundance, you are in that reality. And as you go forth in your day, you carry with you the resonance, the energy that knows no lack."

3. I was definitely interested, BB. There was just a lot of...

information there, so I was going to look around a little first. I should have probably just replied saying that I appreciated the post and was going to look around.

Thanks for posting it! :hug:
