Gratitude is an attitude of loving what we have, and this undoubtedly leads to having more. When we open our eyes to bountiful blessings already in our lives, we realize just how abundant the world really is. And suddenly, we feel more giving, more loving, and more open to even greater blessings. Gratitude is a key that unlocks the door to treasures we already have, and it yields greater treasurers yet to be discovered.
Gratitude is also the most highly underestimated virtue. We think of love, hope, faith and the power of prayer and forgiveness. But how often do we stop each day and give thanks for all the blessings in our lives? Are we too focused on what we lack, what we don’t have, don’t want or don’t need? By opening the heart and mind to focus on gratitude, we unleash a treasure of unceasing good that’s just waiting to overflow into our lives. A grateful person knows that by giving thanks, they’re given even more to be thankful for.
So today, let’s give thanks for second chances. Sometimes we all feel like we can’t do anything right. It’s embarrassing to make mistakes. It’s embarrassing to show others that we are less than perfect. So, let’s give thanks to everyone who has given us the chance to try again, to make things right.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Love,
Carmen Monica
