Gratitude Is What We Are

Namaste!

"Gratitude is what we are without our story" 

~ Byron Katie

I truly feel deeply grateful today for this new found Peace that has finally stopped being so illusive.  It is too precious to loose for anything in this world.  There is no comparison.

Most of all my stories have been "queried" away through Self Inquiry. 

How do I know my stories are over or that I have forgiven myself and others concerned?

Very simple.  There are no more cherished memories or stories to hold on to or hang on to.  There is no pull or sense of regret when I am reminded of the people concerned, only peace and wonder at the experiences shared "good" or "bad". It is very safe to say my life lessons have been learned and I can move on without looking back.  I'm over with feeling bad about anything.  The "feeling bad" emotions were like little irritants that constantly made me feel depressed. I have had too many of those "feel bad" and "feeling guilty" emotions.  It's regressive to even think on those lines anymore. If someone is still holding on to grudges, its not my story to drop, its theirs. 

My job is to be Who I Am as much as possible and to keep and maintain Peace within myself no matter what the cost.

Life Happens!
