Counting Your Blessings

When I’m worried and I can’t sleep,
I count my blessings instead of sheep,
And I fall asleep counting my blessings.

Irving Berlin

As we are more fully engaged in this transformation from one level of consciousness to another, it can be very difficult to remember how much there is to be thankful for.

While gratitude practice (“Thank you for everything, I have no complaints whatsoever”) is a powerful tool, it can often be far too eneralized. Perhaps we could all move through this month, which is dedicated to giving thanks, by taking a few moments at the end of each day to write down one positive thing for which to be thankful.

By “positive thing,” I mean something like, “I’m thankful for the sun today,” rather than, “I’m thankful it isn’t raining.”

The process of stating “I’m thankful for…” (or “Thank you for…”) can create a sense of well-being, of expansion, and of contentment that becomes a foundation from which to live in joy over the next few months of winter.

By the way, I’m thankful to be an active partner in this spiritual community!
Blessings,
Charlotte
