Gratitude appears in many divergent ways. If I have a set idea of what outcome will lead to gratitude, then I’m simply off-base. When I envision only one way to express gratitude, I have limited my own creative expression.
Today, I am thankful for the lovely day I had yesterday. The weather was perfect, people were out enjoying their day, the overall mood was one of happiness. How wonderfully easy to feel gratitude for all of that!
Also today, I didn’t feel rested and restored when I got up. In fact, my body had some things to say about what it felt after a day out. Well, fine then. I have the ability to change plans, and my friends understand that sometimes I have to do just that. Gratitude! I missed being in the building, but since the service I attend is live streamed, I didn’t miss out completely. Gratitude! Going back to bed for awhile and taking my pain meds allow me to now get back to my day, gently. Gratitude!
Looking for and feeling the gratitude in all circumstances is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult, but finding those elements for which I can express true thanks keeps me in the higher vibration in which I want to live.
Gratitude has many forms, and is found in a multitude of ways. It doesn't need me to define how it will show up, or how I will find it. Expressing it will change my outlook—and that is set in stone.
