This quote comes directly from my wonderful auntie Angeliea - check her out at http://www.Angeliea.com .  I think it is a great reminder - in fact I programmed my cell phone to remind me at 9 am each day to “be grateful”.  Every day my cell phone starts buzzing and displays this simple message on my screen, just as I usually am sitting down to work.  I stop for that moment and look around me at the abundance.  I tune into the sounds, smells and feeling of my world.  I connect with the Divine place within and give thanks for everything that I have.  I give thanks for my life, and the opportunity to live it in a conscious way.  It feels good.  Not only that, but I know gratitude is a really a powerful emotion that is fertile ground.  Since “like attracts like”, being grateful produces more reasons to be grateful.

 Anyway, I believe Gratitude is one tool we have as a human race to uplift and evolve.  Thank you!
