The A to Z of Gratitude

I have decided to give my daily gratitude a boost and give this blog a new lease of life.

Currently I have so much to be grateful for. If you haven’t seen my around you can read what’s been happening at Suzie’s Healing Journey.

Starting today with A for abundance

Gratitude is the open door to abundance – anon

The first word is abundance and each day  I will keep an abundance log where I will record 5 things that make me feel abundant and also the abundance that I have attracted to me and my life (I am doing this in evernote so I can have it on my phone if something comes up a want to make a note of). You can get your Abundance Kit here

To kick the series off here are 8 Inspirational Abundance quotes to embrace the feeling of abundance which opens into gratitude

• Life in abundance comes only through great love. – Elbert Hubbard
• Abundance is a Feeling:“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.  – Wayner Dyer
• Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. – Sarah Ban Breathnach
• What is called genius is the abundance of life and health – Henry David Thoreau
• Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level – Eileen Caddy
• You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance. – Kahlil Gibran
• Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance. – John Petit-Senn
• Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life. – Wayne Dyer

Please join in here in the comments of over at Facebook where I will be sharing my abundance celebrations.

I was so delighted when taking the tops off the radishes to find these perfectly formed heart shaped leaves. I felt so blessed that nature had given me so much joy. I was also very grateful for the wonderful fresh produce we buy each week at the farmers markets.

What are you grateful for today?

“Gratitude comes easily when our lives are in order-when the bills are paid, the children are behaving, our health is good.  But our challenges are what bring the chance for transformation.  And it is for our deepest pain that we can be most grateful, because we know our hardship will deliver a lesson that refines our character.  As you practice gratitude this month, give thanks not only for what you have but also for what you have escaped.  When difficulties arise, ask yourself, “What is the lesson in this for me in this?”  And when you can give thanks in the midst of your trial, know that you are becoming your finest.” ~ OPRAH MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 2000

I am grateful today for:

• The magic of the colors in the sky
• the shapes and patterns that the clouds form
• The abundance that I experienced today from Chris at our growers market
• The wonderful fresh salad greens of cos, spinach and rocket- yummy
• The love I have in my life
• The clarity that is coming as I am trusting my higher self to guide me

My friend Sandhan has  set up a group on Facebook called Inspired Gratitude Love and it has been the call to action that I needed to get this blog back on track.
I am inspired every day to be grateful

• when I walk on the beach, just feeling the sand between my toes
• for the sun smiling at me
• the colors in the sky
• the patterns the clouds make
• and how blessed I am to be able to run and walk, to stretch and bend and have this picture perfect view.

What Am I Grateful For Today is Back in Action:

I was planning to put this blog to rest and move to doing a weekly gratitude post my  new Suzie Cheel website. That somehow didn’t seem to fit. I then discovered there were more than 1000 people subscribed to What am I Grateful for today.

So I decided to restart sharing my gratitude on an almost daily basis. I would love for you to share your gratitude below or even on the tribe at http://suzidcheel.com/facebook.

As you know the being both grateful and seeing the abundance that you already have in your life, brings more of what you do want  into your life. You might  share a story and just one thing or many that you are grateful for today. My daily practice is to think as I wake up of all the things I am grateful for in the moment. During the day I do celebrate the abundance as I notice it in my life. I am putting together an ebook on Attracting Abundance that you will be able to download.

This is thanksgiving week so inspired by my friend Evelyn Lim and her post today on How To Start a Gratitude Journal and asking her readers to share what they were grateful for so far in 2010. Here is my list:

• Des’s love- having a soulmate and life partner who supports me through the highs and lows, such a blessing
• Blogging and social media as it allows me to stay in touch with like minded friends and meet new like minded souls
• Where I live that each day I get to walk on a pristine beach and swim in clear clean water.
• Sitting here looking out on a garden with birds tweeting, the sun shining native shrubs flowering, and the jacaranda in bloom
• Skype as i have just got off from talking with a close friend from USA who I haven’t spoken to in ages
• Being fit and healthy- having gook health and a healthy attitude goes a long way to living in gratitude.
• Oprah coming to Australia which has got me moving on my Big Hairy Audacious Goal, got my book Emergings- a meditation on the emotions of change self-published and on Amazon. You can watch the video I made to get my BHAG up and running. And that’s just for starters
