If you are a participant in many of the spiritual conferences and podcasts that are currently available online, you will notice that all of them mention the power of gratitude. For the record, www.vocabulary.com has a great definition of gratitude.
Gratitude means thanks and appreciation. ... Gratitude, which rhymes with "attitude," comes from the Latin word gratus, which means "thankful, pleasing." When you feel gratitude, you're pleased by what someone did for you and also pleased by the results. Unlike indebtedness, you're not anxious about having to pay it back.
Knowing how to feel grateful and how to practice gratitude is a gift from Great Spirit. Buddhists say that in order to feel compassion, one must know how to feel gratitude and to express gratitude.
One of my teachers explained to me that gratitude is a special wave of energy that spirals to the heart of the Universe. The Universe feels the joyful news and grace within the gratitude. This wave of energy is like a magic wand that waves abundance to the one that expresses gratitude.
May you have a ton of gratefulness today!
Many Blessings

I have noticed that no one seems to have much gratitude since Covid hit. People are mostly self concerned and somewhat bitchy. Everyone will be much happier if they practiced some gratitude each day. Good job!
