“I have everything I need.” You may
think that you don’t, that you’ll only be happy if you obtain that latest
doohickey or fad. Then why weren’t you happy the last time that you purchased
something? Yes, you were quite pleased at first, but that feeling fizzled. Done
gone to the trash heap.
Most people have:
- · Body parts:
o
Legs
o
Feet
o
Arms
o
Hands with opposable thumbs
o
Eyes that let you see this page to read
o
Eyes that let you see the sunset
o
Ears to hear your favorite music
o
Ears to hear your child’s or lover’s voice
o
A sexual/reproductive system
o
A brain, nervous system, heart and a circulatory
system, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, and glands and more to make all the
above able to function for you
- · Electricity in their home, that wonder that brings the outside world into an illuminated room
- · A cooking system in their home
- · Running water in their home, and, because of the heating system they have that fires up the boiler, hot water is there for the taking
· You can add to this list. I challenge you! (Or,
change the list if some of it doesn’t apply to you….) Take up a pen and in your
Planner’s Gratitude Journal section (or on any paper,) finish out this list
with six more things which you have plenty of and are thrilled with, to bring
it to an even ten items.
What is the entity to which you are
grateful, if you don’t believe in G-d? Try the Universe or Nature. Try: your
parents who brought you into the world as a human being gifted with anatomy and
physiology!And try: your community which has cooperated to provide you with all
of the material conveniences!
