“Thank You Lord.” Over and over, repetition all through the morning’s toilette. The words may sound a bit rote, but they are genuine, deeply heartfelt.
I may veer into a couple of hallelujahs, and praise Yous a time or two. This is my way of beginning with gratitude.
To be grateful is a gift that becomes more, and more magnificent as it is recognized, acknowledged, and examined.
Curiouser and curiouser, as the other Alice in Wonderland would say, is that the more a person is grateful, recognizing the Divinely directed favors received to be grateful for, and saying the words out loud, or whispered, or barely formed on the breath, there is more, much more, beyond imagining more, for which to be grateful.
The best two words of advice I can share are, “Be grateful.” The best four words of advice are, “Be grateful in Everything.”
