Dear Beloveds…
My heart swells to almost bursting with the Gratitude and Love I feel for each of you.
Gratitude and Thanks Giving are always the utmost priority of importance to me. They are a natural part of my existance…like breathing, really.
At times I find it funny to think back to when I was a lot younger…as a child awaiting Thanksgiving Day…a day I was taught was for expressing everything that I was grateful for. I remember making lists of gratitude before Thanksgiving and being worried, what if I forgot someone, something that I was thankful for?? I felt pressured somehow to remember every fine detail, after all…THIS was THE day of THANKSGIVING!
How interesting. With some thought I realized that being grateful was just a natural part of who I was. My Mom taught me well, “always remember to say Thank You”. :0) I didn’t have to save up my Thank You’s for one special day…I could shower my Thank You’s any day of the year! Whew! What a relief. And of course that’s what I did anyway.
Thanks Giving Day took on new meaning for me in those years. I saw it as a day to more deeply honor and remember my Gratitude for each and every blessing that breathes in my life. On Thanks Giving Day it seems the veils are lifted and for one day, if we choose, we can see through the eyes of compassion even more clearly. We can see the Love of Source pouring through each and every detail of our Loved Ones, of the Nature that surrounds us…even in the things that may not seem so ‘pretty’ day to day.
Thanks Giving Day teaches me to give even more energy to the Power of Gratitude in our lives. Being thankful is a powerful gift…one that we give…one that keeps on giving and is always given back to be received.
On this day, when the doors to our hearts are flung wide open, when our souls feel the sheer rapture, the utter bliss of being steeped in Gratitude, may we choose to acknowledge that feeling…cherish it…and may we choose to make every day Thanks Giving Day!
Today, with Abundant Gratitude, I say YES to Thanks Giving! I say YES to Thanks Giving Day being every day. I say YES to those veils being lifted so that we see clearly in every moment all the blessings and beauty that surround us, everything there is to be grateful for beaming brightly, shining with joy.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, from the depths of my soul, for walking this path through our journey of life with me. Thank you for the beauty, the wisdom, the inspiration and the soul that each of you bring to the every day experience of living on this planet. Thank you for breathing life into everything you do…everything that you are…everything that you BEcome.
Be Blessed, today and everyday, with Love, Joy, Abundance, Peace, Harmony and GRATITUDE…pouring freely from me to you!
Happy Thanks Giving Beloveds!
