Simply saying or thinking about the words receiving and gratitude, evokes joy. Each evening I treasure the moments when I ask my children, “What are you grateful for today?” They stop and see their day flash before their mind’s eye and always find one or more treasured experiences to be grateful for.
Gratitude is a reflection of our joys, our appreciation, our vulnerability, which we courageously honor, our willingness to love and be loved, our willingness to surrender to the best of what’s possible for ourselves.
So on a seemingly bad day when the kids get a bit stuck on what to be grateful for, I may ask them did you do something you feel good about, did you or someone you know accomplish something, was someone nice to you, were you nice to someone else, and before too much probing, a thought of gratitude spills out of them.
We can find our way to gratitude through the doorways of joy, love, creativity, surrender, vulnerability, and easiest for most – simply appreciating what you have been given and received or created, made happen and feel excited about.
Once you find your gratitude and feel it more deeply, you will realize that all the doorways are opened before you in that one expression of gratitude.
