It, gratitude, often makes me think that my problems are nearly always “FIRST WORLD” and not even comparable to the “THIRD WORLD” problems of so many of those around us: hunger, homelessness, poverty and the like. Gratitude tweaks the volunteer in me.
I become more grateful for the cards I’m dealt with including 2s and 3s rather than pulling strings to get what I want. String pulling is cheating. Winners never cheat, and cheaters never win. It all evens out from the grand scheme of things.
It simply reminds me that I have all that I need. I am alive. I am safe. I have a husband and two dogs who love me dearly, and I them. And I am also reminded of my own divine light, that light that lives in my heart space. That connection to myself and my Self and all that is. When I feel that, I know that all is well.
I love it, Sunnypatti. Basic needs are often overlooked in an age where everything is accessable within the palm of our hands. If we have food, shelter, water, family, and electricity, we’re good to go. It’s easy to forget that not everyone can afford these items even closer to home in the US.
Gratefulness and gratitude connects me to the good and helps to ease things when they are not so good. That is life. There must be dark spaces so the light may shine through. The acceptance, awareness of just how wonderful or full of wonder life is. Peace, Love & Light.
When I rise, wake, and then plug into a mindset of gratitude, my day is right centered and on the beam. I’m focused to be of service and usefulness to others. I’m less likely to grumble about cold oatmeal when I’m the only one responsible for getting it out of the microwave! Sending supportive energy to others this Thursday. Peace y’all! 🫶🏽☮️
My prime gratitudes are my old car and my sufficient condo. What they connect me to is how much I love my crazy little life with its lack of money and abundance of challenges and joys.
I can feel gratefulness right now when I see that I’m the universe and the universe is me – we have never been apart. When I “repent”- let go of my false human mind that takes pictures and is filled with thoughts only Truth remains. What matters is to Become truth and live a life focused forever on Truth . It’s so lovely to be free of pictures, hairs and body . Thank you universe I love you and you love me .

Joseph, your answer aligns with mine. As I said from above, it all evens out from the grand scheme of things.
