How do you describe the feeling of appreciation? The
tingling sensation that dances across your arms, around your throat and descends
into your heart, where thrilling and deeply touching warmth begins to glow
until it spreads throughout your body and soul until your eyes begin to sting
with tears of gratitude. Gratitude physically felt, bringing joy, thankfulness
and appreciation that covers you with a blanket of happiness that wraps around
with a great big hug.
Don’t deny yourself the opportunity to experience this
awareness of bliss that awaits when you count your blessings. Begin with one
and keep going until you reach the end, which is usually impossible to reach.
Blessings are endless and have unlimited repercussions in life, but to try to
count them will cleanse and lift your heart and bring happiness into the
hardest of times, the darkest of souls, and the emptiest of lives. This is the
beginning of true beauty inside you, the love that grows like a flower until
its color and scent reaches out to touch others and not only enriches their
lives, but changes yours forever.
Begin with: I appreciate the gift of life….
