The energy of gratitude is a wonderful vibration that can work wonders for your attitude and physical well-being. Technically gratitude is recognizing the value of favorable things or positive life experiences that we did not request or work for. Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation for a service provided for us. I find the gratitude energy to be up-lifting of my mood and my vibrational frequency. When I experience genuine gratitude it feels wonderful and I feel more vibrant and alive. An example of a very big “high” is when my baby grandson survived his heart surgery when he was only a few days old. I felt like I was walking on air, I was so elated and grateful that he lived. It is a good practice to make a list of 10 things that you are grateful for each morning and to say “I am grateful for——-” for each item on your list. This makes us fully aware of the good we have in our life because so many of us accept our good and take it for granted. My parents taught us to say “thank you” when we received something or someone did something for us. We were certainly taught to be grateful for what we had. It was of no consequence that it was not what we wanted, we were to be grateful for what we had because there were people that had none. Some of us have difficulty receiving gracefully. Can you receive gracefully? We were taught that it is important to give, but it is just as important to receive gracefully. It takes a certain amount of gratefulness and humility to receive something with grace.
