Every year at this time I make a hodge-podge list of 101 things I am grateful for (trying to minimize the mention of Muppets and of Rainbows... which are this year only listed once each... kind of... okay, well twice then... ). It is amazing what a difference gratitude makes, and when I forget who I am, which happens from time to time, looking at these lists of what I am appreciative of always helps bring me back to myself. I feel Gratefulness is what Love feels like -- One and the same. So when I am shattered in pieces, gratitude begins connecting those pieces, an act of creation rather than destruction, literally re-membering who I am.
