In life each of us has our own personal relationship with gratitude. Just as we do to love, food, money, sex... It is our relationship to these aspects of life that help create and define our own personal story. We don't always contemplate our life from this perspective. Often our perception of relationships are limited to our experience with people. When people are involved the issues can become clouded. It is our relationship to the qualities themselves that give us the power to influence and rewrite our story every day.
When I was little, there were times when I really liked being in the middle, especially on a sled where I felt safer than being in the front or in the back. I enjoyed sitting in the middle of two friends at a movie. Many of us liked being in the middle of a crowd at school where it was easier to fit in and not get picked on or noticed if you were doing something wrong. But then there were games like "Monkey in the Middle" where you are in the middle and you had to try and catch the ball. This was a game that was not always fun. Or you were stuck in the middle of the backseat of a family car between two of your older siblings, with no window space feeling nauseous and sick to your stomach. This is when you began to understand that yelling shotgun before getting into a car gained a coveted position, that the middle was not always the best real estate.

Have you ever noticed how much stress can occur when you have a chance to make a wish? Anyone who has ever heard the story of Aladdin, the genie and the three wishes is familiar with the struggle of choosing the perfect wish. Who would think that this wonderful opportunity could instigate such a flurry of considerations? If you are a "good person," and many of us are or want to be, then how can we have a personal wish without first making sure that we bless the world, our families and our friends. Deep inside of us we know a wish isn't worth a darn thing if we don't have good health, love and happiness. So what do we do when we have the opportunity to form a personal wish and send it out into the universe? Is it appropriate? Is it selfish? Is it right?
Have you ever felt a vague sense of unease? Your heart begins to feel heavy and anxious. You can sense that you are being moved off your center into an unsafe place. Sometimes our fears are big and loud and sometimes they hide just below our awareness. It can feel as if there is a tunnel of water moving quietly beneath the surface. This type of feeling is unsettling as though we are a child about to get in trouble. We may not be able to put our finger on what the fear actually is but it surrounds us as a free floating anxiety. It zaps our energy and can make us feel week and frightened. These hidden fears are hot spots in our psyche. What can we do when this occurs? How do we remove them from our memory and heal the wound?
Acceptance is a tricky quality to master. Most people mistake acceptance for agreement and therefore resist it. Acceptance does not mean that we give in or roll over. It means we connect fully with the situation. We stop struggling. We own the hand that we have been dealt and accept it without judgment. Once we do this a very interesting thing occurs, our life and the situation changes.
