The Happiness of Thanks given 11/26/2009 4:49:20 AM
There is not a day that goes by without my first awakening thought, and my last one before dreams take over, being of THANKS. Of gratitude, focused on each and every one of a myriad of distinctive elements, and yet fully aware of, and fully present in the whole ever expanding, ever changing universe that those elements compose. I sense thankfulness as perhaps the cause of bounty, more than its consequence, for it has the unfathomable power of generating all things great from little nothings. So, as I give thanks, I am given – I receive. I become not only genuinely wealthy, but the very foundation of genuine wealth – the one that is, in itself, the very essence of happiness. Happy Thanksgiving!
