Daily Gratitude – Day 2709

Today I Am grateful for knowing the importance of being grateful – even when there are powerful, difficult moments in life that don’t seem to have any logical reason to be grateful for them.

Grief.

Fear.

Loss.

Pain.

Regret.

Depression.

Confusion.

Chaos.

Tragedy.

Turmoil.

Sickness.

Death.

Being the cause of pain for others.

What possible reason is there to be grateful for that?

I won’t expect an answer today. I will be patient, and see what I discover.

I Am grateful for NOW, the only moment there is, metaphysically speaking, knowing everything I could possibly want is in existence NOW and is in my grasp NOW. In respect to this physical plane in which we use “clock time” to measure the Eternal Now, I Am looking forward to an amazing tomorrow, filled with love and joy, prosperity and abundance, creation and completion, new possibilities and new realities. I anticipate ending the day in complete satisfaction, knowing that only good comes to me, always. It is going to be the best day of my life, and I Am grateful for tomorrow today!

And So It Is.

Namaste,
Brian

Daily Gratitude – Day 2707

I Am also grateful for how eager Jacob was in helping David with his Hebrew homework. (Not something I could do!)

I Am grateful as well for how eager David was in helping Jacob with a video project for school.
