“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Grateful for both the good and the bad times. Both have their lessons to teach. Every relationship we are in will have both kinds of lessons as a new chemical interpersonal alchemy happens. Two or more egos and spirits combining , always some rough areas and that’s where we learn the most.
What is each moment but a new relationship. I suppose that is as good a definition of the word mindful as that I’ve ever heard. One’s relationship with each instance, each ever present now, feeling gratitude for each lesson learned and each challenge met.
Blessings, G

What Else Is There to Teach Him? by G A Rosenberg
Death they surround me with no flesh or blood on them
I the loner child in the midst of no other friends
I laugh and smile but inside my mind, I know that death awaits
But..no not yet I am not dead..let me live to gain
A life that has rewards for me, or disturbance and pain
It is a life, it is beautiful as can be..remember to sing, even when it rains 🙂
You know that this applies for me…my story…given that you visited my blog today! :0) Thanks for supporting me.
Thank you and blessings
Gratitude is a state of grace and mind that is the opposite of taking for granted – I like your idea that every moment is a new relationship – powerful thoughts…
