Now, stop.

Stop asking, stop invoking.

The blessings that are yours are already here.

Stop and receive them.

Rise and offer them to yourself.

The sun comes up to give you rays of light and warmth that nourish.

The air your lungs need carries scents of fullness.

The water that moistens your lips falls from the sky in a perfect cycle.

The earth that gives your body its structure makes your forward steps firm.

The life beating in your heart cries out that your being exists.

You need nothing.

So much wonder to be thankful for.

And being thankful is one more blessing.

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

Look how blessed you are.

Now, go on.
