Give Thanks for Life

Give Thanks for Life

Life itself is a gift. 

It's a compliment just being born: 

to feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, make love,

for this particular lifetime.

Today, let's give thanks for life.

For life itself. For simply being born!

Daphne Rose Kingma: “A Garland of Love”

Inspired by Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, my first thought when opening my eyes in the morning is Thank You!  for waking up to another day.  However, I love the idea of taking the whole day to celebrate Life with gratefulness!

For many, summer vacation has already started and it’s easier to choose a day when you’re off from work for such a celebration.  Choose one day this week to say thanks for the fact that you are alive!

Invite somebody you like to share a coffee or a meal, and say Thank You to your friend for being there. Eat and drink, feeling grateful that you can enjoy good and nourishing food.  Take a walk in nature, and send your love to the Earth, trees, flowers and butterflies. 

During this special day, note how you feel, breathe, think, play, dance, sing, work, or make love, and do it all with extra attention. During every activity, give thanks for life itself, for simply being born!
