First Words

“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.”

Gratitude for many, many things

Liberty comes to mind. A freedom that embraces and encompasses anything and everything a person might choose in the course of a day’s life.

Then when the next day arrives that same liberty allows us to go a different way, in a different style if we so choose.

Infinite are our choices and options, and the style in which we choose. As an example; we can decide to hope in a positive direction instead of dread in a negative way.

True, there are people and their situations that have limitations on physical liberty. However, the liberty of self, up close, and very personal self-choices, attitudes, goals, and aspirations are keen and powerful in presence.

We each and everyone have the liberty to go another way, choose differently. We can reach for things beneficial as we put away things harmful.

The very process of considering things for which to be grateful, or thankful, or appreciative is LIBERATING!
