every day, we are blessed in thousands upon thousands of ways.....i know that the more we have graditude, the more blessings it feels we are showered with, so i thought i would start the ball rolling, and add things whenever we/you/us get that feeling of graditude.....

thank you for reminding us, melissa. it's so easy for us to lose that critical focus and allow the despair and negativity of the ego to take over. i always try to start giving thanks as soon as i wake up; before any other thoughts come into my head, and it's very effective except those times i forget to do it.

several studies [abraham/hicks, joe vitale, etc.] suggest that as little as 20-30 seconds of simply feeling gratitude for whatever reason can impact your entire day. and some later scientific findings (that dw talked about) say that all positive feelings like love and gratitude have a very healing effect at the dna level, because of the way it relaxes and unwinds the dna. fear, on the other hand, tightens it up, making it more susceptible to disease and ill health.

during the latter half of, or so, of the ra sessions they were continually bombarded by a negative orion entity, trying to disrupt the group. i remember one particularly trying incident when it was particularly persistent. later ra said that what finally did get rid of it was gratitude. evidently the negative sts entity did not have anything in its arsenal to effectively counter gratitude.
