Thank you, gratitude, appreciation

Thank you makes our blessings grow

Bestows light upon those things

The bring us happiness

Gratitude is the expression of deep acceptance

For our all of our experiences

As hard as they may be sometimes

For gratitude shows us there was always a learning

Or an adjustment to be made

That could make our life flow with more grace

And lead our soul to wisdom

Appreciation is the act of sharing from a place of

Acknowledgment and recognition

From a perspective less self centred

And more open and inclusive

Towards the heart and concerns of others

Even when they differ from our own

Gratitude is an orientation that shifts the focus

Away from lack and towards an abundance

Of spirit

It is a powerful antidote to feelings of loss

Generated by a subconscious past that may have been

Less than kind

Gratitude is related to grace

Because we are more prone to act with grace

When we look for the glass half full

Not due to denying any past suffering

But through accepting that this life we participate in

Are a part of

And share with others

Is both complex

And mysterious

"The religious naturalist is provisioned with tales of natural emergence that are, to my mind, far more magical than traditional miracles. Emergence is inherent in everything that is alive, allowing our yearning for supernatural miracles to be subsumed by our joy in the countless miracles that surround us." Ursula Goodenough How to describe oneself? People are a mystery and there is so much more to us than just our particular experiences or occupations. I could write down a list of attributes and they still might not paint a complete picture pf Deborah Louise and in any case it would not be the full truth of me. I would say that my purpose here on Wordpress is to express some of my random experiences, thoughts and feelings, to share about my particular journey and explore some subjects dear to my heart, such as emotional recovery, healing and astrology while posting up some of the prose/poems which are an outgrowth of my labours with life, love and relationships. If anything I write touches you I would be so pleased to hear for the purpose of reaching out and expressung ourselves is hopefully to connect with each other and find where our souls meet.

  1. I love this, Deborah. I feel gratitude is so important in our lives, too. I keep a gratitude diary alongside my journal, and I never cease to be amazed at how much more positive my world looks if I only look for those things I’m grateful for. I hope you’re okay today, or at least as okay as you can be right now. Hugs Xx πŸ€—πŸ’–πŸ˜˜
