You might have noticed the label in the upper right-hand oval of the waxing and waning moon pages 'Appreciation'. It's there for a REALLY NECESSARY REASON.
I've been told by a number of spiritual teachers and coaches, and read in a lot of self help books how helpful it is to keep a gratitude list. Even Oprah has gratitude months, and there was a lovely young women (whose name now escapes me) who had a website devoted totally to gratitude. Keeping a gratitude list is supposed to make us happier and lessen our depression and negativity. When I have been diligent about writing a daily gratitude list, I definitely have felt better, happier , more joy-filled.' But, that practice is can be a challenge to maintain, which is one reason why we keep it on the journal pages month after month.
Keeping awareness of our gratitude and appreciations raises our energetic frequency, and we become able to experience more joy. This ability to raise our frequency out of negativity and into joy, is to a key ingredient to having a conversation with Creator/Great Mystery/God. A wise teacher shared with me that the vibrational frequency of gratitude is joy, and joy is the frequency through which Great Mystery speaks. Only in that frequency can we hear the direction of Creator clearly. We then, will not mistake this voice for that of our trickster ego!
