HAPPY THANKSGIVING! One of the incredible truths about gratitude is that it is impossible to feel both the positive emotion of thankfulness & a negative emotion, such as anger or fear, at the same time. Gratitude births only positive feelings - love, compassion, joy & hope. As we focus on what we are thankful for, fear & anger & bitterness simply melt away...As we get older, we get schooled in our mistakes, & learn to focus on whats not right, what is lacking, inadequate, & painful. Thats why gratitude is so powerful. It helps us to return to our natural state of joyfulness where we notice what is right instead of whats wrong. Gratitude reminds us to be like plants, which turn toward, not away from, the Light. (MJ Ryan) Today I am grateful for life, & ALL that it includes.
