365 Things.

The hardest part of this project is sorting through the daily endowment of blessings to find the one that inspired me most.  Although I don't write daily, the gift I do highlight is a compilation of 365 different blessings not necessarily in any order.  All the blessings are good gifts and remind me of my greatest blessing, His grace and compassion, His love.

20. Family

My mother's children and grandchildren. If I would die today. Or tomorrow. They would say I am survived by 3 sisters, 2 brothers, 5 nephews, 10 nieces, 3 children and a spouse all as crazy as I am. 

Being around my family reminds me I do things my mother did because my siblings do them too. 

I am thankful to share this life experience with them. There is a part of me with a heart felt desire to be with them again always and forever. At one point I cried at the thought of our family reunion ending. 

Unless it doesn't have to end.

19. Inspiration

I am grateful for inspiration. I started blogging my thankfulness for my children and the perfectionist in me quit blogging any gratitude until my children posts were complete. It took awhile because of my unconsciousness, but I recognize the beauty of inspiration when I receive it.

The triumphant feeling of peace and the tender mercy felt inside. I generally tear up when I receive it and giving it away is even more rewarding, especially when given to my children. 

Because my divine purpose is to inspire, and because inspiration comes from my divine Creator and because I was born with a HUGE ego mind that is the fog preventing me from seeing all glory, consciousness is required moment to moment to moment.
