Love Ya Tons!!

1.  SOOOOOOOO Grateful for my daughter, Cat.  It’s her birthday!  She’s 20 years old today, and her remark to me was, “Well, Mom, I beat teen pregnancy!”  Ha ha!  Not funny, but it was funny.  Perspective.  Yes, we are grateful.  How life can change.  In an instant.

2.  I’m grateful that we have 86,400 seconds in each day to say Thank You.  We are allowed to say it 86,400 times, if we take the opportunity.  THANK YOU!  Immediate balance,  in an instant.

3.  I’m grateful that gratitude is truly an action word, and moves us past any stuck spots we are in.  In an instant!

4.  I’m grateful that by just being grateful and seeing possibility instead of limitation, we receive possibilities without limitation.  In an instant.

5.  I’m grateful for optimism, faith, belief (although that changes everytime we have a new thought!).  These are the rockets that create the trajectory for our lives to do a quantum leap to point to and arrive where we want to be.  In an instant. 

6.  I’m grateful for memory.  How it serves me is equal to the amount of time I’m willing to sit still and be quiet.  Memories do come to me, in an instant.

7.  I’m grateful for knowing that our true value is innate.  That just by showing up and being a friend, I’m the one of the most valuable possession my friend has.  Wonder if you make a difference.  Don’t show up, then you’ll see.  You friend is your mirror.  You have to show up to see your reflection.  It’s there or its not, in an instant.

8.  I’m grateful that the Universe believes in abundance.  It only knows abundance.  Only I can contradict that process by thinking in terms of lack.  I receive abundance of lack.  In an instant. 

9.  I’m grateful that when I think in terms of lack, all I have to do is BE GRATEFUL, and the natural order of ABUNDANCE is restored.  In an instant. 

10.  I’m grateful that as my mind expands and questions the next step for me to take to grow in my Spiritual Transformation, all the right answers, people, and situations reveal themselves.  IN AN INSTANT!

Much love and gratitude for all of you ~ We are ONE, in every instant.  Connect.  It may be a quantum leap for you today, but it will change every fiber of your being….in an instant.
