Gratitude - Universal Law not Murphy's law
Well what a day it's been, Murphy struck again!
What am I grateful for?
- wonderful membership at WA
- Part of a fantastic community of helpers who are extremely supportive
- WA makes me feel amazing everyday
- Grateful I'm alive
What am I not grateful for?
- A big gum tree branch came crashing down in the golf course
- We went from 15 degree Celsius to 36 degree Celsius, it was a sudden shock to us all
- Farmworkers finished work early due to extreme temperatures
- The boss and I retreated indoors
- Even the animals were quiet.
- Tried unsuccessfully to work on my website, need I go on no on your nelly
Because I didn't attract good things into my life today and have not given gratitude certain events played out and far outweighed me being grateful.
Sir Isaac Newton found that "fundamental laws of motion in the Universe...
"Every action always has an opposite and equal reaction".
"action of gratitude sets off a reaction of receiving"
We need to be more sincere and deeply grateful...the more we will receive"
Thanks Giving will be upon Americans, and Remembrance Day to remember the fallen in Australia and England, then Christmas.
How can Gratitude change us?
Rhonda Byrne in her next chapter of the Magic tells a story that she was grateful but the truth was she wasn't, she faced terrible challenging times due to ongoing unfortunate events.
What changed for Rhonda?
She started practicing gratitude and the more she did she found her life begin to change and become more magical.
Enjoy today and show gratitude. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

You are so right Yvonne. Having an attitude of gratitude calls for us to see the glass as half full rather than half empty.
When I'm driving to work I like to tell myself my lateness may have saved me from lurking danger. I'm grateful that I can still go. My lateness may cost me but even then taking my time on the road mean I save lives.
When things seem to be going against me I like to remind myself that it could be worst so I have reason to give thanks.
More than this I like to remember the promises of the scriptures and be grateful even when I don't understand or things don't look good.

Yes, sometimes life has an odd way of stopping us from losing our lives.
We can be so grateful when that happens.
It has happened to me and Stuart, If we had left on time we would have been in the pile up instead we are five minutes behind waiting to go through past the accident.
We were actually silent until we went past. Then I said, that could have been us if we hadn't forgotten something that made us late.
Any time a negative thought comes into your head, remember , you can quickly change that mindset to one of positivity to knock it straight back where it came from.
example: Oh dam its raining and im walking to the office today with no umbrella :( ... . Change this thought to "Its raining, how perfect, the trees and plants could really use the extra water":)
Once you get in practise of doing this every day, it will start to flow naturally and negative mindsets will be automatically replaced with positive ones, without you even noticing.
The act of gratitude truly helps also. Life to can become Magical if you believe and have faith :)
Thank you Crystal for your wonderful response. That's right, we have to turn things around and when were do life starts to become magical.
Yes, the "attitude of gratitude" can certainly help when Murphy strikes.
I hope today is a better one for you!
I find once I’ve written it down it turns for the better. Thank you for reading and responding.

Yesterday, a crown fell out of my mouth, I couldn't find Evernote on my computer and because of that I couldn't log in to where I keep my password list, and it was so cold and windy I couldn't walk much outside. BUT today is a new day and I am grateful to be refreshed and ready to tackle things!
That's great Rosana. Today will be a good day because you have written out your mishaps.
