I AM GRATEFUL…

I like to write things down. As a result, I’ve saved many notebooks with different writings through the years. Yesterday, I was browsing through some of them and came across one with affirmations I used to write down daily. I will share a short one with you, that I wrote eleven years ago, on 7/10/13:

I am grateful that I can originate loans and generate income.

I am grateful for love I have for Elfa (my wife).

I am grateful that I have the capacity to think and to enjoy life.

After reading these, I decided to resume the practice again, and to write down what I am grateful for on this day, every evening before going to sleep.

The next morning, I went for a walk with Max. During these walks I listen to various podcasts on YouTube. And as the universe was listening to my thoughts, I was presented with You don’t need a doctor if you do this for 3 days from Louise Hay, where she talked about gratitude. I was introduced to her years ago, through reading her books. The key message in them was, “If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed”. On YouTube, I found many of her segments, including “Start your day with self-love and gratitude.”

I am grateful that you are reading my stories. I am grateful for the blooming flowers in my garden, which you can see in the three images above.

Enjoy and Share!
