One of my favorite chapters of Wallace D. Wattles’ book, “The Science of Getting Rich”, is chapter 7, entitled “Gratitude”. I had asked the members of our group how they defined gratitude and received the following from Jeanette Barlow:
Hi Steven, I will not be at the next SGR meeting, but I wanted to give you my perspective on what is Gratitude…To me Laying in my bed at night and feeling the warmth of my little home, seeing my little children as they experience freedom and life’s beauty, hearing the gift of music in my ears and in my heart, watching people smile at each other or offer a helping hand, walking ten miles because my car took a break from serving me, feeling the way my tears soak my pillow as I learn to let go of what was and learn to embrace what is, cleaning up Hersheys chocolate syrup pictures off Olivia and my home and realizing that I have both in my life for now, listening to my daughter express her anger and fears through a flood of tears, holding her while she cries. I am who I am because gratitude is the staples in my pantry, Thank you for asking us to share, Gratitude is the very Breath I Breathe, I know what its like to Breathe the past stale air and fight for every Breath, Grateful to know and experience the oppisite. Enjoy your Day! Love Jeanette
