Gratitude is Priceless

/

From gratitude comes exhilaration - climatic and sustaining. Exhilaration is of the greatest of emotions, and there is no price to obtain - just our choice.

I go to my internal world to contemplate my passions and priorities - the mind is a mysterious thing. Attitude can transform a mood from bad to good - I am grateful to have experienced it.

Thanksgiving 1997, my brother-in-law, Jim said All is gift - those words have marinated with me since. The concept contributed to my revelation of the importance of a personal focus on Self-realizing, Connecting, and Giving. Jim died two weeks after that personally impacting Thanksgiving of 1997.

This Thanksgiving season, my sister Bernadette was asked - What are you grateful for - she responded - Everything. Bernadette was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and is moving into assisted living.

It seems that potential imminent loss of life prompts appreciation for all we have, and all we are able to give back. Really, life is relatively short for all of us - an attitude check, anyone?

Happy Thanksgiving. Here’s to gratitudinal (my word) exhilaration!
