I've been struggling with gratitude lately. When one is caught in the midst of financial challenge after financial challenge it's difficult to see outside of it. At this particular moment in time it's extremely difficult. But, there are things to be grateful for.
Right now I am grateful for:
-my wonderful wife who keeps me on the positive side of things, loves me unconditionally and always makes me laugh.
-my happy puppy who enjoys every moment of every day.
-my kid, who I am so very proud of.
-the roof over my head and the cot that I sleep on.
-my kid's talkative kitty who keeps me warm at night.
-the PB&J sandwich I am about to eat for lunch.
-the free coffee that my employer provides.
-the free filtered water that my employer provides.
-the opportunities that are mine now that I have a degree.
-the 30 day "reprieve" I received from the company that financed the vehicle I am selling.
-good books.

Isn't it amazing that we can always seem to find SOMETHING to be grateful for.
I understand your frustration about finances -- it is astounding to me how many of "us," along with so many on this planet, continue to experience this. We plug away at our consciousness, and yet continue the patterns. Because it seems to be an almost global, shared experience, I can only think that supply is a major issue of our time -- which leads me to, once again, going back to getting straight on "Source." So many of us, even in New Thought still try to work supply, the old-fashined way...force. "I have to DO SOMETHING...NOW!"
The experts tell us to "allow," our supply to come forth...yet for me, as surely others, that leaves me feeling vulnerable, almost like I have to watch my back. We are a "DO somthing" society, and that is the praise-full way to approval...
Thank you for your post, it reminds me to work on allowing today -- and to be grateful, that for today all my needs are met.
Thank you too, for the great "zen" site zen -- love it...and felt more peaceful just having it.
