Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV

Wonder Beyond Words
To be alive in this beautiful, self-organizing universe
-- to participate in the dance of life with senses to
perceive it, lungs that breathe it, organs that draw
nourishment from it -- is a wonder beyond words.

"So true ... all beyond words. My take on gratefulness:
Deeply thankful for the following:
- for the dedicated people who give their best to make this world a beautiful place to live
- for the opportunity to be alive and experience the wonders of living
- for enough time to reflect on life
- for the sight of blossoms bursting on a tree
- for the love and support from family and friends
- to be alive and have the opportunity to learn through the ups and downs of life
- wisdom, truth and righteousness
- for like-minded people to share this wonderful mortal experience with
- for people who come into my life ... teaching and sharing their knowledge, etc.
- for the technology - bringing groups of people through wholesome communities
- to live and not just exist
- in continually counting all my little blessings ... THANK YOU!!!
Sprinkling the angel's dust all over ... noy-JOY."
