PRACTICING GRATITUDE; WITNESSing GOODNESS

“For many of us, our first waking thought is, ‘I didn’t get enough sleep.’ Then, ‘I don't have enough time.’ The not-enough thoughts – ‘I’m not thin enough, smart enough,’ – set our mind for the day. But we can choose to let go of the mindset of scarcity. We can shift our thinking for the better with a practice of gratitude.
​– Lynne Twist. The Soul of Money
 Affirmative prayer: Today, in the beginning, I align my attention, outlook, and my words with the creative, life-giving force of the universe. I mindfully cultivate a practice of profound gratitude, making points throughout the day to feel, speak, and write expressions of thankfulness. My consciousness is lifted, my actions are affirming, and I manifest the love of God. Amen.
