Learning takes a while to process. If we have created something wonderful it will take a while to understand that it is truly in our life and to know how we drew it there. If emotion is connected with a learning that learning is more powerful, complete and long lasting. Gratitude is a strong and positive emotion. Therefore, it would be good to practice gratitude constantly. Connect that feeling with your awareness of what has just manifested. As you practice gratitude for life's goodness you will see more and more of it manifest. You inner self has drawn all that to you. Even if you don't consciously know how these things came to be, your inner self does and the emotion of gratitude will help it remember how to do so again. Sometimes we only play lip service to gratitude. But it is better to actually let a warm strong feeling bathe you. Even, if you want to, give a good strong exclamation as you accept the gift you have been given. Be grateful for the gift and for the ability to draw it to you. Magic is experiential. What you think about is what you will experience. If you focus on your blessings you will have less time to create fears.
Reach out to the realm of magic that surrounds you and bring goodness into your life then lock that goodness by feeling gratitude. May the spark be with you.

The Magic of Gratitude
I saw a program on PBS that said a good antidote for depression was to daily note three things for which you were grateful. It's hard to hold it down to just three things once you get into it. Today I'm going to a birthday party. I will be celebrating so much more than a celebration of this friend being alive, but the years of goodness she has brought to my life and to others. When I stop to think of all or even some of the things for which I am grateful I find it easy to believe in magic. There are so many things that seem to be way beyond the ordinary. This gives me an incentive to reach out for the spark to make my own life better. Today I think I will learn from my friend. She has a way about making people glad to be around her. If I can learn some of that skill my life will be more magical. I suggest you try the same thing. Find something that gives you joy, then see if you can find a way to give that joy to others. That will be a spark of magic that will help make your life a little better than it was before. May you be gifted with gratitude.
