Friday Affirmation and Body Connection – Thankfulness
I hope that you all had a terrific Thanksgiving with your loved ones. For this week’s body connection and affirmation, we’ll begin and end with gratitude and continue to build on the theme from Monday and my Thanksgiving message.
After our hard workout, we can simply be grateful that the workout is over or that we went a little further that we intended to go or be thankful and appreciate that our body is working well enough to workout or that we can afford a trainer or gym membership. What I’m imparting is that there is always something to be grateful for. When we actively appreciate what we have or done, it calms and centers us. When we forget to be thankful, we can be off, not right, and always looking for more.
Today’s Affirmation: Just for this moment…just for this breath, Give thanks and be graceful. Amen

Celebrating Thank You and Gratitude
Meister Eckhart wrote, “If the only Prayer you said in your life was ‘Thank You,’ that would suffice.” This month we’ve been meditating on an affirmative prayer. As we enter Thanksgiving week we’ll continue with affirmation and discuss faith; faith that it is done. By saying thank you it becomes the affirmation of the appreciation for God and its infinite expression of giving. The more we say thank you, the more we affirm to be thankful for.
