Gratitude
Citta
Veteran
A little snippet from Situ Rinpoche which spoke to me and so I thought I would share it.
" It is good to be grateful. It is good to get into the habit of gratitude. We have so much. We have air and water and food.
We have family and companions. We sleep and wake to a fresh day.
We do not know what is coming to us.each day.pain or joy. Sun or rain..but we are grateful because we are alive and aware and each day is a new chance to wake up. Our hearts get tarnished by responsibilities and duty and toil. The polish for our hearts is gratitude.
Try it with your crying kids, with the dog that has pooped on your lawn..to the flu in your throat as well as to the flowers and new green leaves..gratitude .
We are alive..we can do things differently today. We can be kinder or more assertive. We can let ourselves feel sadness or joy. Always new. Always grateful. "
