Today I experience the nurturing and giving nature of the Universe I inhabit. From every direction, unconditional love and encouragement arrive, cheering me on to be fully who I am.
| Today, I choose to focus on Life’s small gifts, a touch, a smile, a fragrance. Today, I choose the Good that Life has to offer. |

I trust the process as I watch the moving picture show of my life unfold in Divine Order. My responsibility is to plant the seeds of faith and watch them grow.

The greatest thief of human happiness and abundance is ungratefulness. Any lack in our lives – whether in money, health, or relationships – is simply the evidence of a lack of gratitude. If you focus on lack you are not being grateful, and that will bring more lack into your life. Yet the simple state of radiating gratitude summons everything to you.
No matter who you are or where you are, you can change your life with gratitude, but you must feel it with your whole heart and radiate it from every cell. Gratitude is not a mental exercise, and in fact, if you simply use your mind for gratitude it will have little or no power. True gratitude comes from your heart! You must think gratitude through your heart, speak gratitude through your heart, and feel it intensely in your heart.
Then practice gratitude relentlessly. As you practice gratitude you will attract more thoughts and feelings of gratitude. In a short time your entire being will be saturated with it, and you will experience a happiness that is beyond what you can imagine. This is what is ahead for you when you choose gratitude as your way of life. And if you can really live in this highest state of gratitude, you will never have to ask for anything. Everything you want will be given to you before you even ask, because gratitude is the magnetic substance that opens every single door in the Universe.

Yesterday is always near, its memories live inside me with joys that still can warm my heart and lesssons that still guide me.
Tomorrow always beckons, and its promise can inspire new efforts to achieve and grow, to aim forever higher…
But today alone is truly mine, with each and every minute awaiting my full energies to be invested in it…
My mind to be directed to meet challenges and duties, my senses to be conscious of unique and precious beauties, my heart to be devoted to each chance for warmth and giving…
Today alone is truly mine to fill with happy living.
Love
