<div id="attachment_1413" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://healthyconnections-nc.com/HC/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ill_heart1.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1413" src="http://healthyconnections-nc.com/HC/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ill_heart1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Awakening the Heart!</p></div>
<p>It’s easy for us to take our lives for granted when things are going  well.  But if we return a Thank You to the Divine for our good fortune,  we will make space for new blessings to arrive when we least expect  them.<em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em>By saying Thank You for my food, shelter, job,  family’s health everyday, you will also strengthen your connection to  the Source and create more trust and faith that will inevitably sustain  you during hard times.</p>
<p>When you are in a crisis or prolonged bad  luck, try to have gratitude for what is going right in your life.  It’s  easy to complain and see the negative in unfavorable situations you are  encountering.  But if you can think of at least one thing that is  positive about it, you may be able to shift your perception and change  the outcome.</p>
<p>By looking at your glass of life as being half full  instead of half empty you can bring more abundance to yourself and your  family.</p>
<p>So make Gratitude a part of your daily routine today!</p>
