Happiness In In The Now/Gratitude

I'm being reminded by my Guides this morning about gratitude for what I have in the now. As I sit here looking out at a beautiful day, the birds are singing, a particular harmonious chiff chaff who has been singing constantly for days, if not weeks, had I noticed, is offering his beautiful song to me to remind me to 'sing my song'. For all my 'manifesting' I need to remember what I already have that is beautiful.

Now I struggle with gratitude, not because I'm not grateful but my Angels are always telling me to 'be grateful' and I struggle with 'being TOLD what to do', like most people. My Higher Power, God is no different to a kind, loving parent that wants to see His children having learnt the art of gratitude and appreciation for what they have, like such kind, loving parents He hates ingratitude, or disingenuous people and He knows the difference between the two. But I also appreciate that on days that I'm tired and weary and things don't seem to be going the way I want think I 'struggle' when 'they' shout 'gratitude' in my ear. But I'm being reminded by 'them' this morning that there are people out there who have much less, who are in pain and are suffering so it behoves me to 'wake up', look outside, take each moment as it comes because none of us know what tomorrow brings and 'we need to make the most out of each moment that we are blessed with'.

So 'thank you God/Higher Power/whoever', 'thank you for this beautiful morning', for the chiff chaff, for the crow who is reminding me that there is 'magic in everything' and for all things in life that make this moment the moment it is, thank you. And thank for all the 'small, but noticeable improvements' in any difficult and stressful situation for that is 'truly the work of the Lord' or whatever glorious power you pray to and for those beautiful small improvements be it the weather or health or wealth or mood are truly things to be grateful for. Amen.

Postscript - the 'they', the 'them' to me are Angels, Spirit Guides, God or some such guidance, for you it could be anything you believe in, or your own voice or inner child or higher power. For the purposes of this blog I will use my 'inspirations', my God, the Archangels present with me today, my Dad in Spirit and to many other wonderful souls who pop in and out of my day to 'guide and direct me' or even just to 'shout in my ear', thank you for those reminders Spirit!
