Find Your Center of Gratitude

When life comes to get you, when clouds are dark, when walls come tumbling down, and truth crashes painfully, when jokes lose their funniness, and energy slacks, there is naught for it but to find your center of gratitude.

Take pen to hand and make a list of everything you have to be grateful for and don't stop until you have 50 entries - or 100!

With each line the heart will lighten, the creased brow will uncrease, the shoulders will lose their strained height, breath will come easier and longer.

Until, at some point you notice, that life no longer holds you pinned to the wall, it now bows and takes your arm, to twirl you in its graceful. flowing dance.

When the side of life hits that brings that yearning to the top, find your center of gratitude. There is no higher prayer.

Blessings.
