My question today was
What will Power me forward today?
These words fell onto the pages of my journal before I meditated:
Get back to your art, work smarter, write your book
Then I drew the card GRATITUDE
Be in Gratitude
The message on the card is
Be grateful for
- you,
- your life,
- your home
- a fridge full of food
- running water
- eyes that can delight and see the wonder of nature, all the shapes, patterns and colours
- my positive spirit
- my creativity
- my health
- passion
- family
- friends
- support
- my oracle cards
- my hands
- my readers
- my clients and customers
- the beach
- mother nature
- the peace lilies flowering out the window as I write this
- my worm farm that gives great fertilizer for my garden and saves landfill
- letting go of past disappointments and disasters
- being able to bounce back when I feel totally let down, yes even by a trusted friend or colleague- happened at the weekend!
- seeing the gift when things go pear shaped Â
And so much more I could add, I would be here all day 🙂
I start each day in gratitude when I wake and then I journal and from today I will use my gratitude rock each night to be thankful for at least one thing from my day, so I fall asleep in the arms of gratitude. I used to always journal at night, recently added it to my morning journaling.
What are you grateful for today? Does gratitude empower you?
Remember
Open your heart to LOVE: DARE to DREAM again!
all my love

I’ve had a daily gratitude practice for many years and enjoyed peeking at your list. Who knew we were both worm farmers????
Sorry I missed this Andrea, more in common than we think 🙂
Lovely post, Suzie! Great reminders for us all, we have so much to be grateful for!
Thanks Kris, yes we do and sometimes we just need a nudge to feel empowered by what we do have 💜
Thank you do this wonderful reminder Suzie. Gratitude is the key that unlocks abundance in our lives.
The list of things to be grateful for is endless.
Hi Leila,
Yes we all have so much to be grateful for and when we remind ourselves that it is the key that unlocks the abundance magic can happen xx
A wonderful reminder here, Suzie. Being grateful has helped me get through trying situations. I feel happier when I’m in a grateful mode.
I know Cathy it is special how being grateful can create a positive shift xxx
What a great gratitude list! I believe in the power of gratitude too. Gratitude is abundance!
Thanks Sandra, yes gratitude is abundance xx
I believe in and know the power of gratitude in my own life. I practice gratitude every day. It really makes a difference. Our brain is wired to notice the bad. We have to intentionally notice the good.
Debbie, yes that is so true, that our brain is wire to focus on the negative, had that experience this morning, amazing how once we focus on gratitude we feel the shift.
There’s merit in the saying ‘count your blessings’ Suzie, and I start my day with acknowledging the good things in my life and then again before going to bed. Gratitude does provide a buffer when dealing with difficult situations too.
I know Vatsala being grateful has changed my life, especially in my healing process and as you say when dealing with challenges, can be the real turn around. xx
