...Thank you, ancestors....

I'm getting ready to catch a plane with my oldest son, Sam, from Portland back to Louisville. It's amazing that in just a few hours, a giant, metal bird-like vehicle will fly us through the air back halfway across the country.

This reminds me how amazing life is and how often we forget that. I do.

Today, think of something you are grateful for but that you have recently been taking for granted. Thank your ancestors for it.

You might say, 'Thank you, ancestors, for _____, which I forgot about for a bit.'

Remember - as your gratitude flows out into the world, it makes you healthier, happier and able to connect more deeply with yourself and others.

And your gratitude expressing itself makes it easier for others to remember to be grateful for important things sometimes forgotten.

I am often amazed at my good fortune to have been born in this day and age, with all its...! Sure you also get the pitfalls and nuisances, the risks and snares, but this is a Great Day to be alive! I hope my ancestors said that of their days, that they could sense progress and growth form one generation to the next. Now is the Great Day of Paying it back and Paying it forward :-D Gratitude. It implies Action.
