So far so very good. I feel so much lighter, better, and happier.

Every day, I am so very grateful for the gift of another day.

Especially today.

😞 It would have been my sister-in-law's 77th birthday today.

Every day, when I say thank you for another day, I think of her and a few other close friends and family who would be delighted to have another day to spend together.

🌎 It gives me the perfect perspective to deal with my life with gratitude in my heart.

It allows me to joke and make light of last week's challenges...

- finding I had a flat tire as I walked to my car,
- getting notice about a violation from my tenant re parking.

- but wait
- there's more...

- being locked out of my CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) Account and getting cut off after 2.5 hours on hold. (very lovely music)

And I am grateful for it all. Grateful to be alive and well enough to deal with what the flow of life brings me.

It all got sorted out. And I am grateful for all of that. The amazing CAA service that made it all so easy, my amazing property managers who handle everything, and the 45mins wait that eventually got me right with the authorities.

And that's my gratitudue experiment update.

How are you doing? What are you grateful for today?

❤️ What happens when you make Gratitude a part

❤️ What happens when you make Gratitude a part of your life?

Well, last week I said I had no idea but was willing to find out.
And so here is something I learned about gratitude.

It requires two big things:

⓵ Staying mindful
⓶ Opening my heart

🧘🏾‍♀️ Staying mindful. Honestly, I can go through a day so easily, completely unaware of all the wonders and magic of my life. If you remember from last week, I talked about how the opposite of gratitude was taking things for granted. I realized that if I am not intentional about finding things to be grateful for, I wander through the day in a bit of a trance. I don't really take notice.

And so, to remedy that, along with a list of the ten things I am grateful for each morning, I tried to wake up and be grateful every time I remembered.

That meant being grateful for the beautiful tulips by my meditation chair more than once a day. It meant being grateful for clean water in my glass (that's apple cider vinegar that gives it a little colour 😊) all day long.

It's really a practise. And a worthwhile one I can say because my unhappiness is lifting.

💗 Opening my heart. I've learned a lot these last years about keeping my heart open. That means, I take a moment to focus my attention on my heart centre and then imagine it opening.

This is a practise I learned from my study of Michael A Singer's book, The Untethered Soul.

He talks about how old energy can get stuck and close the energy flow of the heart centre. The result, pain, unhappiness, blandness.

Gratitude is all about keeping my heart open because when it's open, my gratitude just flows about everything.

It feels natural, uncontrived and unforced.

But when my heart is closed. Ouch! I just hurt.

What closes our hearts? We do. Especially when we think the world is not unfolding as we want it to. This is huge. A closed heart is a resistant heart. Resistance causes the pain. Learning to allow life to be what it is without our judgments is a practise for a lifetime.

There you go. My learnings so far from my Gratitude Experiment.

I'd say it's going well. ❤️
