♥Gratitude….turning what we have into enough, & more…

♥ DAILY LOVE TIP – Wednesday January 11, 2012

Greetings to you special ♥LOVELIES,

I am grateful for ♥You! Your reading turns my blog….my writings into a visit with a friend…. a chat with a friend…..how wonderful, how nourishing for me!

I love this concept of turning what we have into enough, into more…….it’s a practice that would be great for every parent and grand-parent to teach their children…..for all of us to be teaching the children by living it…..

A good place to start is by doing a ledger of what we already have…. it’s time to turn all that we have into enough, into abundance….Some of you spent time last year writing out My ♥favourite things…..each day for a few months…See ♥ DAILY LOVE TIP – Sunday July 31, 2011 – a few of my ♥favourite things ……… https://susiesheartpathblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/31/a-few-of-my-%E2%99%A5favourite-things/

Going back and looking at all of those would be a good place to start your inventory…. this post shares about different ways to start documenting them as well. Having some sort of Gratitude journal is a must.

Says Sarah Ban Breathnach ~ “If you want to travel this journey with me, the gratitude journal is not an option…….. Why? Because you simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.”

A friend of mine simply shares each day on Facebook another things she is grateful for. Sending out an email would be another way to do it….Some families share one thing each that they are grateful for at their dinner table…… or you can just privately write it in your own Gratitude journal. How do you do it?

And today is a good day to start. Whichever day you start is a good day.

Question for you: Is being grateful and feeling blessed ‘your default setting’ or is scarcity and lack the lens you see through?  What do you need to unlearn to move into gratefulness and abundance?

I had some great technical feedback from ♥Elizabeth’s in her comment on Saturday’s post which I wanted to share as well as ‘a shout out’ from her…..thanks ♥Elizabeth….

“……I wanted to offer you technical feedback on why some folks might not be responding to your posts. In order to ‘like’ your post, one must be signed up for a WordPress blog. In order to reply, one must go through a signing on process, which, in the long run is not lengthy, but does require pausing and taking a bit of extra time.

So – this is also a shout out to those who run into snags with liking and responding – to go that extra step – because it will fuel more reciprocity and keep Susie wholeheartedly offering us her gems of insight, wisdom, and support along the rugged and righteous path of softening our hearts to ourselves and each other.”

So the deal is for you to make comments you need to sign up for WordPress……note that this won’t result in any spam or anything if you feel cautious. Don’t forget to check – Notify me of follow-up comments via email – so you will receive any replies to your comments. A reminder also that you have the option of just clicking LIKE on the bottom of the blog. Please let me know if you have a go at doing this and there are any glitches or you need more instructions or help. I have been on a few blogs and tried to comment and have not been able to for a number of reasons so understand the frustration if it is not working for you.

🙂 Bye for now – I sign off with a full and grate-full ♥heart…... ♥LOVE Susie.
