Gratitude for what you have, and who you are in present time, relieves the tension and disillusionment of an unknown future rhyme. And embracing all the good that comes your way provides for an uplifting spirit to manifest day by day.

Do not resort to weakness, or let yourself down with wild imaginings, without foundation sound. There are so few examples of lives of misery without sun; even if such rays of hope are momentary, one lives on.

Remember that you deserve your life, every bit. And the choice is yours to make of it what you will. Suffice to say that when you draw, for the last, an earthly breath this life, your review of all that has transpired will be coloured not so much by physical details, but by how you thus reacted, and what you did to overcome the obstacles presented.

Memories will linger of the growth and inspiration shared, all else of monetary wealth and privilege will be forgotten, and relegated to illusion. Keep focussed on the minor miracles that come your way; sound health that continues to hold sway, clear thought and a loving heart, the will to follow through, these are the important attributes for which your gratitude will sing a song of such delight into the eternal, universal night.

Take time now to look back and see how far you’ve come. Congratulate yourself on tasks achieved. Plan ahead for future improvements with speed, and do all that you can today to attain a goal desired.

Live your life this way, and when it comes time to say farewell, you will be filled with such gratitude of endless stream that the purity of your spirit will gleam and overflow to share with others who still dream.
