Great thinkers

"A grateful mind is a great mind, which eventually attracts to itself great things," Plato.

Amazing how the thinking of what we as a culture acknowledge to be great minds resonates with current "modern" thinking. The above quote is very similar to the "Law of Attraction" spiritual thinking currently amidst us. Many spiritual teachers speak of the importance and power of being grateful. So, of what can we be grateful?

We went to a nearby city yesterday, had lunch in a fun spot, bought myself some needed art supplies, and Dwane some personal care products. We went because we needed to pick up some ordered fruit. A church in the area brings tree-ripened fruit into the area. It is a win/win as we live where this fruit is not grown, and the church uses the money to fund their parochial school. This morning I am so grateful for the beauty and serenity of where we live. Next: a bite of breakfast and a run amidst the beauty of nature. I am so grateful I have the health to run.
