What If I Don't F-E-E-L GRATEFUL...?

Gratitude at it's most important level,
is so much more than
a mere feeling
or fleeting emotion...
it is a rock-solid,
Immutable Principle.
As such, it needs to be embraced
as a Rule of Right and Good Living;
and as a perspective
or viewpoint
on our life's journey,
Gratitude requires
(to the best of our ability)
moment-to-moment practice ---
whether we are
FEELING Grateful,
or not !!!
Indeed...functionally,
Gratitude is one of God's perfect,
"highest-grade oils",
by which we can keep the wheels
of a good attitude,
ever-turning --
in a manner
that is smooth, quiet and efficient.
Therefore, Gratitude exists
for our health:
Initially to be Accepted
and Valued,
as a Grand Philosophy of Life;
then Gradually Exercised
as a State of Mind;
and Ultimately
(part of our very cells),
Breathed
as a ~ State of Being ~
