Gratitude is my favorite spiritual practice. The act of appreciating what is present in my life immediately turns around any worries, self-doubts or complaints circulating around in my brain, and I begin to experience peace.
One of the themes from my Flickr group this week is spiritual. I chose gifts that I recently received from two friends in my HeartMath group to represent the practice of gratitude. One is a beautiful (and wonderfully huge!) tea cup from my friend, Carolyn- and the other is The Secret:The Power, a gorgeously illustrated book by Rhonda Byrne from Eline. I have such thoughtful friends!
