Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose to focus on gratitude.

One of the best attitudes we have in our "toolbox" of life is gratitude. When we place our energy, our thoughts, our actions, on being grateful for what we have and for the possibilities in our life, we open the door wide to that energy.

On the other hand, when our energy is focused on "what ifs", on grudges, on feelings of lack, then we open the door to those energies. So which do we want to flourish?

Focusing on gratitude, on love, and having positive expectations will feed the energies that we choose. Whatever our choice -- and it is a choice -- that energy will increase in our lives.

Today's Focus was excerpted from the InnerSelf.com article:

EDITOR'S NOTE: 
ABOUT THE NEW CONCEPT FOR THE DAILY INSPIRATION:

As a Daily Inspiration subscriber, you not only get the inspiration each day, but you also get an advance read on an article as it develops.

This is a bit of an experiment, so we may adjust the concept as we go along.  And of course, we welcome your comments and suggestions by using the Contact Us form on the "This and That" drop down menu above.

Wishing you a loving and grateful day!
