Let us return to gratitude.  Yes, it seems self-evident that gratitude brings attunement with the higher realms, but how often does one forget to express it?  You must engender it, this feeling of appreciation, when you are out of balance.  You are given free will for a reason.  Through your choice of thoughts, you grow or stagnate, find peace or angst.  When not in alignment with the heart, you must choose to feel gratitude.  In so doing, you go to the head of the class, yes, but you also feel instantly better.  So, what do you have to feel grateful for in this moment?  Choose to answer the question again and again, and we dare say you will have a blessed day. 

You are so very loved.
