Seeds of Gratitude

Seeds of Gratitude

There is a very useful energy in gratitude. Although we may experience it we often accept it and move on. We have the tendency to forget the good things that have happened to us, those experience that brought us joy, the important things. We are encouraged to move on to the next experience or the next possession which promises happiness.
It is very beneficial if we can bring to mind the feelings we had in a past experience. It is the feeling we look for, not the event. Bring that feeling into the present moment. Focus on the delight and in the quietness of self, let it expand. It may need a little effort as we tend to outweigh our joys with worries.
With fresh eyes we may find there are good things around us, simple things that we can enjoy. Building up gratitude will make a difference, not only for us but for others on the way.
