Gifts of Gratitude

I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details. - Albert Einstein


Have gratitude and kindness taken a back seat to other emotions.

I'm not judging.

It's an observation.

We struggle with jealousy and greed, I know we don't mean to, it just happens. So it's not surprising that we're scrambling to find "The Way."

Ego. That little, but very loud voice in your head. It keeps us from achieving what we truly want. When you want more for others than you do for yourself...you've connected to the spirit within you.

So why is it so hard to do?

Take a moment to think of the wonder of you, all of the wonderful people and things in your life and just simply say "thank you" and really mean it, with sincere appreciation and gratitude.

And lastly, as we move forward, remember one thing, if it were that simple, we wouldn't all still be looking for it. "Thank You" for being here.

Gratitude is the memory of the heart. ~ Jean Baptiste Massieu 

Val·ue; To determine or estimate the worth or value of; appraise.

I'm desperately trying to wake up everyday as a peaceful, loving and grateful observer. Someone who can just be.
It's an interesting place, I see a glimpse of it every now and then, sometimes my ego just won't let me go there without a fight.
From my sporadic experience in this place it appears that you don't have to have an opinion or question things. When judgment, jealousy, greed or disappointment creep in it's just a matter of letting go of the balloon.

How many seconds have you been grateful today?

How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a weary world.
~ William Shakespeare

Say "Thank You" send a balloon bouquet!

Please. Thank You. 

Start them young.

We arrive on this planet filled with love, wonder and joy. It's the interaction that can spoil us.

To leave a legacy, begin with the idea that gratitude is the one thing that will bring abundance into your life.

If you have children, take a moment to evaluate your interaction with them. Step into their shoes. Do they see you upset, angry or hostile towards others? Beyond the idea of please and thank you, what example are you setting?

It's the little things!

Make a Thank You list. A wonderful habit to start off your day, young or old...try it for a couple of days and see how it can change your way of thinking, first thing.

I've created a Thank You list that I would love to send you. Please email me if you would like a copy to print out.

featured lens I Want To Feel Good

Rob's "FARFROMNORMALL" Custom Photo Greeting Cards
Rob usually only does this for family and friends and he doesn't know I've advertised it, but I had to. His greeting cards are absolutely hysterical! So, I think that he should share it with the world. Even though he's always working on a million other things, this would allow him time to share his love of creating life memories, his true gift.
So here goes.......Tell Rob a little background, or funny story, about the recipient and he'll stay tasteful, I promise. (He's extremely funny, so buckle up!)
A very Personal Gift for that person who has everything. Pricing includes one (or two photos) with front and inside page text (sentiment). Serious is also available. You'll be thrilled!

Send a photo of you, a friend, family member, or coworker, add $99, and Rob, will create a dazzling digital custom designed Greeting Card for any occasion. A true keepsake.

Each piece of creative art is made by hand, and can take about 10 days. (He can do it faster...just ask.) The results are so worth it! Once your design is done you'll receive a JPEG or PDF format to print, upload or take into Cafepress.

Just need a photo, artisized? Only $50. Perfect for blogs, websites, greeting cards,birthday gifts,thank you cards, MySpace, email or newletters. We'll have some samples up in a couple of days:)
