Spring Blessings of Gratitude, Balance & Love
Blessings Flower Buds,
Spring is a perfect time to blossom into the true self. To embrace the inner guru. That which leads you from darkness to light. To experience the light we must know the dark. In the west we have ample opportunity to feel this time of internal growth and development. And when that sun shines we shine too! Winter is coming to an end and it's time to Spring into the NOW! Now is time and time is now. YB This months focus is on Gratitude. To be Great and Full. When we embrace the gifts of our life RIGHT NOW we can then move to instant enlightenment. When you focus on what is missing or lacking we attract more of that into our lives. Where the attention go's the energy flows. Why not put the attention to all the beautiful happenings here and now? Gratitude is an attitude. It's a practice. Just like your yoga practice. Take time every day to fill your heart with all that you are grateful for and more Great and Full things will arrive. May your heart be open and filled with love, peace & gratitude. Welcome Home.
Gratitude is appreciation for people, places, and things, as well as,
for ideas, qualities, and feelings
Gratitude is thankfulness, and I use it like a key
A key to inspire strangers, my friends, and me
A key to life that sets me free
A key to heal insult and injury
A key to awareness, when I refuse to dream
A key to finding forgiveness and feeling peace
A key to manifest my desires, what I want, and who I want to be
A key to light the dark times, when I can’t see
A key to expressing my preferences, what I love, the real me
A key to feeling the present moment, gently
A key to reconnect me to humility
A key to boundless opportunity, when I get caught in my limited certainty
A key to transcendence, imagination, and epiphany
A key to turn the hardest moment into a glorious journey
A key to the only foolproof system of love in the galaxy
A key to access infinite possibilities
And when I share my gratitude, gratitude enriches you and me
Gratitude is actually the doorway, choice is the real key
The best part about gratitude is that gratitude is always...
absolutely... free!
"Gratitude is" by Macarena Lovemore
"When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude."
--Elie Wiesel
| "If the only prayer you say in your life is "thank you," that would suffice." --Meister Eckhart
|
| "Find the good -- and praise it." --Alex Haley
|
| Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot." --The Hausa of Nigeria
|
| "They are not poor that have little, but they that desire much. The richest man, whatever his lot, is the one who's content with his lot" --Dutch Proverb
|
| "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." --Melody Beattie
|
| "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." --Marcel Proust

| "Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart." --Seneca
|
| "Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels. If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel, we can find something to be thankful for. The more we seek gratitude, the more reason the angels will give us for gratitude and joy to exist in our lives." --Terry Lynn Taylor
|
| "Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." --Henry Ward Beecher
|
--Ralph Marston
