Dear Friends: What are you most grateful for?

I am one very grateful girl, every single day. From first thing in the morning, feeling loved and warmed, seeing the sun shine, the ocean, the flowers, to closing my eyes in peace at night, I find myself saying thank you. Love is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. But what I am most thankful for is awareness. Without awareness, I wouldn’t know to be grateful. Without awareness, I wouldn’t know to choose love. I wouldn’t know the glory of being true to myself, and the grace of second chances.

And I’m grateful that we can grow in awareness. We do that by exercising the privilege of choice. We continually choose how much truth to see. It is a privilege, a responsibility, and a labor of love. And we get to keep at it for life. Let’s do it with thanksgiving.

Love smiles on you … as do I, with a grateful heart.
