Heartwings Love Notes 307 - The Fountain of Joy

Heartwings says, "Gratitude is the Source for the Fountain of Joy."

No matter how sure we think we are of our future, it can change completely without any warning. This was once true for me. Recently it proved to be true for a dear friend of mine. I had been speaking with her to try to be of help. This time as we spoke over the phone I could really feel her pain.

She also felt very uncertain about her future. Though normally a cheerful, optimistic person, in her depressed state she was unable to see anything positive about her life at the time. The trend of her thoughts worried me. I felt sure that if she did not change the way she was thinking she might be in danger of a health crisis or perhaps even inadvertently injure herself.

"I know you have been through a great deal," I told her, "It's no wonder you feel the way you do, yet it is important for you to think about what you still do have. Try to focus on that, rather than what you have lost or don't have. I went on to enumerate some of the positive aspects of her life. It was difficult for her to hear me. I did not seem to be able to raise her spirits.

Not knowing what else to do I called on my Higher Guidance. As I did I began to breathe light in through the top of my head and out through my heart center at the center of my chest. "Please," I told my friend, "begin to think of all the things in your life that you are grateful for. Gratitude," I heard myself say, "is the source for the fountain of joy." I don't remember more of our conversation, however soon I could tell she felt better. As we said goodbye she thanked me for listening. I whispered a prayer of thanks and told my friend I loved her.

May you keep your focus on what you are grateful for that you may drink from the fountain of joy.

Blessings and Best Regards,
Tasha Halpert
