– Day 26 – Mental Challenge and Journey of Gratitude
I dedicate myself this 26th day
to focus on all that is nourishing, advancing, and promising! PNS
Today is Thanksgiving Day. I celebrate and give thanks for my many
blessings. I acknowledge that I have
learned from my life experiences, and I am grateful for the person I am today.
“A
grateful mind is a great mind, which eventually attracts to itself great
things.”
~ Plato
I love Thanksgiving Day for it
brings to mind a sense of tradition and warm feelings. Not just feelings of gratitude but feelings
of goodness that lift me to heights unknown.
Childhood memories of sitting around my grandmother’s huge dining room
table surrounded by cousins, aunts, and uncles were for the most part
good. I get the same feeling when I
watch the TV show Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck in which there is one scene in
every episode where four generations of the family share a meal. At my grandmother’s or watching it on TV, I
am reminded that I have faith in God as my every-present Good. Having a feeling of gratitude today or every
day brings me love and joy.
Today is a great day to focus
on the present and what is good and useful; to think twice before carrying my
cellphone around with me; and choose happiness where it takes me.
While focusing on what is
promising, I remember to listen to the wisdom inside me that as Barbara Doern Drew and Walter Drew write, “will bring us home to our authentic nature, our
true calling in life.”
With every thought of gratitude, we deepen our
receptivity to the blessings of God. When we are thankful, we are attuned to
God and the many ways divine light, life, and love work in and through us. When
we are grateful, we view life from a higher perspective—a sacred perspective.
We see things beyond our human perception, and we gain a new sense that all is
well in our lives and in the lives of those we care about. - GratefulLiving.org
“Every time we give thanks for anything, we are affirming
our own vital existence.”
