Setting Free

This is so true.  I hated that it might be true when I first read it, but as I have learned to apply this wisdom I have been so grateful for it.  I think the block for so many of us is we are challenged by forgiveness.  One of the most helpful things I have learned about forgiveness comes from Myrtle Fillmore who said that forgiveness is simply giving love where we previously gave an error thought.

Giving a loving thought where we are holding an error thought dissolves the emotional link that is stronger than steel holding us to what we don't want and sets us free!

Chai Tea and a Lap Top

I am re-minded how gratitude can instantly pick up my day in the most simple way. It blows me away how the easy act of naming off a few things I am grateful for can give me a quick "pick me up." Even when I have a little doubt in my head that it will work, after only coming up with a few things for the list I feel better.

I re-alized this morning it is because naming off a few things I am grateful for is a re-minder. It is a re-minder of the things I can so easily take for granted.

Today I am grateful for my cup of chai tea and my lap top. Ahhhh how they make the morning so much brighter!

Today's journal question:

You guessed it! What are you grateful for?

Fly!

"When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or you will be taught to fly."

- Patrick Overton

Yes, and I find I am not always awake to the fact that I have walked to the edge of all the light I know. I am all too often stumbling to the edge of darkness in an unconscious stupor. When I find that I am there at the edge and then falling so fast it wakes me out of my sleep state I am always amazed to find that in spite of myself I begin to fly and even soar.

Truly I am grateful!
