Hello everyone!! We're having gloomy, cloudy and rainy weather today. :( We've not had much sunshine this month. I'm trying to keep busy working on my Halloween costume. I've been invited to a costume party this Saturday night and I have only begun to get my scarecrow costume put together.
Today is the fourth anniversary of my heart attack so I'm having a "gratitude' moment to remind me to count my blessings. :)
Here's a reading from Daily Affirmations for Forgiving and Moving On by Tian Dayton. It seemed to go along with counting my blessings....
Open To Receive
Today I will open myself to receive. Much of what I experience as lack in my life is really my inability to see life as constantly giving to me. When I put myself into a receptive state, what blocks do I place in my own path? Do I feel worthy of a healthy, happy life? Am I able to visualize a good life? Am I willing to forego my attachment to negativity and control so that my life can be fully positive? Really this universe is already abundant. Nature is constantly striving to produce - to meet my needs. My ability to open myself to receive this generosity and abundance is how I clear the channels for it to come to me. My ability to recognize it and to be grateful for it is how I hold it in my life.
I open myself to receive all good that is coming to me.

This sounds so simple, doesn't it?? I wish I had been able to see life from this perspective many years ago. I believe things would have been very different for me if I had lived this way. I'm trying to be more open to receive and to feel worthy of all things that come my way - the good along with the bad. ;) Recently, I have been more able to see myself living a healthy, positive life so I guess I am beginning to remove some of those roadblocks and negativity. And, at times like these, I see myself being more open to feelings of gratitude. Now I will work on feeling that on a more regular basis - not just in response to surviving a life-threatening experience.
How about you???
