A Thanksgiving Thought, NOT mine.

Hey..

I hope you had a great Turkey Day! If you hadn't read it yet, check out my earlier posting for today, but I wanted to share something with you all.. I got this email today and I thought it meant a lot.. take a moment and breathe this in.. for it truly is.. the reason why we are here.
Happy Thanksgiving.

"Today, give thanks.

Step outside for a moment, take a deep breath and give thanks for being you, exactly as you are, alive for one more day and able to draw this breath.

Today, give thanks for the love you give yourself, for it is from this love of self and from this gratitude for being alive that all other love flows. Set aside all criticism of yourself and let love fill you. Fill yourself fuller and fuller with love of self and love of life.

Fuller and fuller until you sense the unending love of the universe which is there for you, all of the love in the universe, pouring into you and filling you up, fuller and fuller.

And now, let that love overflow. Let it first cleanse you of the past, so that today is seen as the treasure it is, shiny new and sparkling, all possibilities exposed like diamonds in the sun. And the future will extend from this. Not from yesterday, but from this pure and sparkling wonder which is you, full of love on this perfect day.

And now, let the love begin to flow out and reach everyone in your life. Let all old annoyances and hurts be washed clean in this flow of love. Let all anger disappear as your forgiving love flows out and touches everyone you know.

And now, let it continue, until it fills the world, touches everyone on the earth. Let it flow and flow until the world is awash with sweet flowing love.

And again, give thanks. For being you, for being here, for being such an important part of all that is on this wondrous day. Know that the love which flows into you, through you, and from you heals you and entire world. Today, all day, just let it flow with gratitude, with joy, with love unending."
