I am grateful, gratefulness found me at last!
I did this meditation, I am indeed grateful to you Rose. What I noticed I was apprehensive to visualise some one, whom you do not consider a loved one. But funnily it was easy, a person who works in a grocery store. I when visualising him, noticed his helpful nature and his genuine interaction making his customer feel important. It is genuine and not for commercial purpose, I noticed him for what he was and appreciating him I felt connectedness and my heart opened. Then to a stray cat who is...
I did this meditation, I am indeed grateful to you Rose. What I noticed I was apprehensive to visualise some one, whom you do not consider a loved one. But funnily it was easy, a person who works in a grocery store. I when visualising him, noticed his helpful nature and his genuine interaction making his customer feel important. It is genuine and not for commercial purpose, I noticed him for what he was and appreciating him I felt connectedness and my heart opened. Then to a stray cat who is very much a part of my life. I was inspired to see that I feel more open and how I felt my heart ready to love. Active pure genuine love. I am glad you did not include people you are having difficulty with, as I purposefully without doing this meditation on such a person brought my attention and saw to my surprise, my mind clear as a dessert sky, a smile and a non resistant heart, This is a better practice than bringing on appreciating people whom one may have difficulty with. For it brought same results.
In a world where we all do what we love…….. I envision such satisfaction and joy that there would be no place for greed and one man ship for there would be no place for unhealthy competition. From the place of love when we work we will think of what other’s would love. I read somewhere give up the fruits of your labour unto me……the true meaning of that will all ready be there as when we love our work even if the end result is not that great, it will go unnoticed . I ...

I can actually go on. Oh what joy such a world would be.
I live in the dessert physical location. And I read this and am reminded of the dryness and rough terrain of my mental state, reading this is like a oasis. Thank you as I have begun my journey in mindfulness and compassion, gratefulness. Thank you.
Matt no amount of thanking you is enough for sharing your life and your light, you are a brave and a kind soul. I gathered strength and insight reading your post. I will buy the gratitude book that you mentioned. This site too is like a sanctuary for me.
Thank you so much for this Article, as I have been praying and practicing for peace love and joy, I had focused more on where I needed to be rather than what life was offering at every moment and specially in you words…” Grace unearned and unsought” in these moments I am reminded of how I am being taken care off instead of protecting my self. I treasure your article.
Who do I thank you the writer experiencer of life and actually life in its wisdom or Gratefulness. Org.

Who do I thank you the writer experiencer of life and actually life in its wisdom or Gratefulness. Org. I say this as I had a car accident yesterday (I am unhurt physically) and I opened gratefulness.org to actually take shelter in this online sanctuary and first thing I saw was this article. I had a ovarian cancer surgery from which I am cured but post surgery I have a part of my brain inactive, by reading your article I am once again told that how nature takes care of us in healing. I instead of hurrying it can begin to look at life like you and it’s opportunity it presents of having a nonactive foggy brain. I also at times see it as fear capsulated and when separating it I see such clarity and peace which gives me direction. How do I help myself to feel intensely that actually earth is holding me as intuitively I know it is. I respect you and see you as complete so shall not say get well soon but yes I wish it too. Gargi
Thank you Elena. Though I had no perticular haterate for my body but when I heard the sentence ” do not judge a book by its cover” . I desperately tried to be a ” good soul” of course I at that time did not know souls are souls not good or bad, but level of consciousness yes. This attitude of mine along with the sentence we are not our body, read by me literally. Made me not house my body. After cancer I am scared of falling sick. Though I am fine now,

This attitude of mine along with the sentence we are not our body, read by me literally. Made me not house my body. After cancer I am scared of falling sick. Though I am fine now, This article will really help me to get a over my fear and operate from love base knowledge. I thank you again. Truly grateful Gargi
