A GRATEFUL HEART

On this day of thanksgiving in the United States people across the land have gathered as family and friends to give thanks. Parents are grateful for their children and children for their parents. Relatives, uncles, aunts and cousins have reconnected. In many cases, some people have spent the day alone. Perhaps they have no family or are estranged from family. True gratitude knows no bounds or limits. Alone or with family, our gratitude comes from within us. It is having a grateful heart for all things in our lives. Gratitude for a place to live and food to eat. Gratitude for simple things, the ability to tie our own shoes, the ability to read and write. There are so many things in our lives for which we are grateful. It is good to take some time alone and experience a grateful heart. In a moment of solitude consider what really matters to you, what brings you joy? Be alone with your thoughts, alone with your creator and gently, peacefully experience a grateful heart.
