When you drink the water, remember the spring.
GRATITUDE
AKA
Acceptance – Acknowledgment – An Attitude of Gratitude – Appreciation – Approval – Benediction – Christ Consciousness – Counting your Blessings – Grace – Gratefulness – Honoring – Optimism – Positive Perception – Positive Thinking – Praise – Recognition – Respect – Reversing "stinkin thinking" – Savoring Life – Seeing the Cup as Half Full – Thankfulness – Thanksgiving
When you sit down to a meal, do you take a moment to appreciate it? Or is it something that is taken for granted? There are many in the world who will not have a meal tonight, or the next night, or the night after that. Appreciate your meal. Appreciate the life that was given by the plants and the animals so that you could have that meal. Appreciate the work that was done by the growers, the pickers, and the preparers so that you could have that meal. If you have good health, appreciate that. If you have pain, appreciate that. Appreciate your ability to feel, to see, to hear, to draw breath. There are many who cannot do even that… If you buy something, appreciate it enough to make it a worthwhile purchase. Instead of "making do," make it special. That does not mean it has to be costly. It means you have to take the time and attention to ask yourself what it is you would really enjoy.
Live your life with conscious attention. Consider the invisible web that binds you to others through everything you do in every day. When you turn on the water at the sink, someone else made that possible for you to do. When you lie down in your bed at night, someone else made that possible for you to do. Someone made the bed. Someone made the sheets. Someone delivered it to the store where it was bought. Someone built the room in which you lie. Maybe it was you, but then you used materials that someone else made available.
Take a last look around and see how everything there is was made possible in so many ways by so many people around the world. There already is a global economy and no part exists in isolation from the others. You already are part of a global society, and what happens in one part of the world affects every other part. There is no movement made, no breath drawn, anywhere in the world that does not affect every other part in the world, whether you are aware of it or not. Appreciate your connection to everything else. It is there. You can feel it. FEEL it! Don't think about it so much. Feel it. Feel how you are part of the intricate web of life, of the flow of life and even of death. Appreciate these days and appreciate all that you are in these days, for you are changing, too… Be in an "attitude of gratitude" and you will feel yourself blessed beyond counting. (Operation Terra)

Namaste
Then I visualized myself standing in that raging stream of water which my mind's eye turned it into a cascade of money. It swirled all around me and over me. It was beautiful. I was physically standing in the stream of INFINITE SUPPLY.
Miracles of abundance and plenty happen through me and around me all the time. This is what I've come to.
I have no physical evidence that what I'm up to creating in the next couple of weeks is anywhere near manifesting, but I've definitely stepped into the knowingness that it is a magnificent thing of beauty. That there is an entire WORLD just on the other side of what I can see and what 'appears' to be so that is busting at the seems to be wintessed and made manifest. That Christ Consciousness is my consciousness, that it is present in every cell of my body, in every fiber of my beingness. Next level. Quantum leap. I am ready. Love and Gratitude is on the horizon and the forecast is warm and sunny, clear skies, mana from heaven and prosperity wherever I go.
Water is a blessing. Speak to it. Let it speak to you.
Trees are guardians. They are the sentinels of the mother goddess. The older, the wiser. Open your heart and show them reverence. Speak to them. Let them speak to you. Touch them lovingly. Love them. They host an insanely wise and generous spirit.
