I can lose my blessings. If I don’t appreciate them, they can disappear. If I feel overly entitled, if I take what is mine for granted, if I behave as if life’s blessings are simply owed me and I don’t need to notice or appreciate them, I am literally telling them to shrink. There is a divine wisdom to gratitude, because what I focus on with appreciation has a way of expanding in my life. If I erase my blessings, I don’t feed them with the grace of gratitude. If I am aware of them, if I appreciate them, I show the creative force that brings forth all good things, that I am awake enough to see and value what has been so generously given to me.

                                            I know enough to say thank you

 Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don’t unravel.
