Gratefulness Happens Before Thinking

This morning on waking up, I was able to realise, through some grace, that my first thoughts were about doing, about what has not been done. In that moment of perhaps being able to observe my thoughts, gratitude came, gratitude for being alive, for being able to wake up, gratitude for this day. And gratitude helps me connect with the wisdom of the heart to be able to welcome the new in the present moment. To wake up to this, and then read this article, makes me marvel at the connections in the collective consciousness. I love such synchronicities.
