Embracing my joy would be nearly impossible without devoting time to gratitude; expressing it, feeling it, and meditating on it daily. Gratitude generates joyful vibrations and radiates a joyful spirit. It creates an abundance of blessings.

An attitude of gratitude is healthy and contagious. It encourages me when I need it and motivates me to seek out people with a similar spirit. Those are the relationships that are most valuable to me. They inspire me to not only embrace my joy, but my blessings too.

“It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.” Eckhart Tolle
