"A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life
depend on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert
myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still
receiving."
Albert Einstein (1879-1955),
Nobel Prize - Winning Physicist
Rhonda says, "With those words, Einstein gave us a gift equal to his scientific discoveries. He gave us one of the magical secrets to his success. Gratitude - every day!." Page 175, The Magic.
The Assignment
Today's
assignment is to take one hundred Magic Footsteps (for about ninety seconds) in
gratitude any time during the day and with each step I must say and feel, thank
you.
Last
Nights Gratitude Stone
I was most grateful for the money in my pocket.
Money comes
easily and frequently.
Thank
you, thank you, thank you.
I Am Grateful: (Day 19)
- To Nicole for
printing the Magic Check for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- For the yummy subs
we had for supper because filled our stomachs and tasted good. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
- For my bowl of
alphabets and morning coffee because it always is good start for my day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- That my medication
is available to me because I know there are countries where diabetics do
not have access to them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- That one of the
benefits of my Indian Status is my medication is paid for because it is a
comfort. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- For my Mom coming
today and helping me out around the house and helping with the girls
because it is a comfort knowing someone is there to help. Thank you, thank
you, thank you.
- To Christina for
running into the sub shop to order and pick up our food because I
know it is hard for her to be out in the public and speak to strangers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- For my three
granddaughters who spent the day with me because they keep me so busy I
don't have time to think about anything other than them. And they light up
my soul. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- For my computer
because it my only means of entertainment. Thank you, thank you, thank
you.
- For my eyes so I
can look into the eyes of my granddaughters and see their love. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
The
Challenge
I am working
on two practices today: the Magic Check and Magical Footsteps.
I am going
to tuck my cheque into my bra because I am suppose to carry my cheque with
me. At the end of the day I will put my cheque in my computer nook so I can see
it often.
I am still
waiting for my cork boards to be delivered. I put my order in with the universe
a couple of days ago. This would be the perfect place to put my check and a few
other magical tools.
Magical
Footsteps was a bit difficult for me because I didn't leave the house today.
Although I did try to remember to say Thank you several times today while
walking. I don't this counts. I plan on going out tomorrow so I will do Magical
Footsteps properly then.
Conclusion
I did not
realize this would be so much work; the reading, the practice, the daily ten
grateful list, my nightly gratitude stone.
Did I say
the practice yet? The assigned practice is the hardest part. I have a hard time
remembering to do the work.
However, I
do think I am remembering to be grateful more often. I find myself saying thank
you automatically when I eat, when I look at my granddaughters, when I am sitting
in my back yard, when I sit at the computer . . .
This is a
good thing. Right? I am moving in the right direction, just not as smoothly and
quickly as I had hoped.
Tomorrow's
challenge is Heart Magic. I wonder what that is all about.
Thank you
for all the followers who use their valuable time to join me even just briefly.
Magic dust is falling on you now. Close your eyes and picture it. Then say
thank you Darlene.
Did you do the magical footsteps? Or are you holding off for another day?
