Gratefulness
When you are in the daily life of a long term relationship it's easy to loose sight of what's important. I must admit that get caught up in the things that drive me nuts about my partner and I loose my center. Then my mind gets in on it and I begin to look at all the things I don't have in my relationship instead of what I do have. It's an easy thing to do I'm afraid, at least for me.
Hurtful things can be said and actions can be taken in a direction that doesn't serve either one of us. I really dislike it when I do this. So what do I do when all I can see is the negative instead of the positive? Or what if I said something I wish I hadn't?
First, I realize that this is what I am doing and from this point all I can do is put in the correction. Then I bring my awareness to myself and my actions. I go to my quiet place inside and find my center again. I stop listening to the stories that run through my head and I just sit..... peacefully. When I can experience my oneness with God I can see all the wonderful things about my relationship. I can see how both of us are totally committed to one another and how lucky I am. From this place, all is good within me and my relationship. It's empowering, joyful, ecstatic and blissful.
I have this daily gratitude practice that I follow that I would like to share with you. At the end of my mediation I look at what I am most grateful for. I thank God for the love and support that surrounds me, for his presence in my life. I thank him for my family, the roof over my head, the car I drive and the friends that love and support me. But most of all, I thank him for my husband, for his love and guidance, even though their are times in which I do not deserve them. I would be lost without him. He is my other half, the better half of me. I thank him for the wonderful child we have together and the great love that we share. I sit in this quiet grateful place. It fills me up and reminds me what's important. Now, I am ready for my day.
When was the last time you expressed your gratitude for the loved ones in your life? Each day we live as if we will always be around, that are loved ones will always be here too. I am aware that my reality could change in an instant and I only have today to express my love and appreciation for those who matter to me most. So on this Thanksgiving Day who do you want to know how much you love and appreciate them? You could change their word in an instant. What better gift could you bring them today?
Many Blessing,
Allison
