I remember living in the fear of never having enough. Not enough strength, charm, peace, happiness, money, food and the like.
In that fear state I was rarely strong enough to face any challenges during the day without annoyance, frustration, anxiety, and anger.
I look back now and am almost embarrassed because I always had enough of everything I have ever needed.
As I have grown along on this spiritual road trip, I have discovered how being grateful or in a state of appreciation in all things allows me to the peace and strength to take on each and every day.
I have been practicing statements of appreciation each morning as I wake up and this brings me into each day with appreciation.
Even if I start with gratitude for the breath I am breathing and move on from there, I always feel stronger in my day.
Today I choose to hold appreciation for each episode in my day, even the ones I do not prefer, for it brings me back into the strength I need, and it allows me to live in joy, peace, and Love.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of appreciation today.
You are Love and Loved.
