Dear friends,

I am grateful for my Janice and her warm contribution to my life, I am grateful for all of my family, clients and friends.... and for Jim Kaloutas, Dave Gilman, Shep Becker, Patti Salvucci, Warren Gibbons, Paolo Scoglio, Nancy Chisholm and Mark Callahan for their direct contribution to my life and growth. I am grateful for Mary Franklin and her work on our book "Wake up, Jump into your Life"... I am grateful for Sue Diorio, Jeff Ferreira, Jim Robbins, Mike Melampy, Mike Klonsky and Mike Goddu.

I am grateful for everyone who has enrolled to receive this newsletter. I am grateful for Cary Sabanty and his work at Talking Head Portraits and for putting me on his website. I am grateful for Joe Waldbaum showing me how much better I can be at Scrabble and for the fun it can be.

I am grateful for Afflink and for all my members of Afflink and our mutual clients.

I am grateful for learning that there is "no space between us" and that scientists are now proving that even in space there is the ever flowing energy of life. I am grateful for the understanding that I am creating my world with my thoughts, words and actions. I am grateful that I have learned to shape and shift things in my life by disciplining and focusing my thinking. I am grateful to have learned that things do change when I change.

I am grateful to be surrounded by people who get this or want to.

I am grateful to have learned about George Ivanovich Gurdjieff who said, "without chaos there would be no creation" and who said, "most men are in a sleeping man's state and that it takes a force of will to wake one's self up in one's lifetime".... how true this is.... I am grateful for the nightmares of my childhood that taught me just how much force it does take to wake up and create the world we want and to resist that "victim" nightmare.

I am grateful for Jeannette Sullivan who persists in creating the web site, mailing the newsletters and has created a new web site, one that only awaits my new ideas for the home page.

I am grateful for all who get the miracle that living in a Universe can be and that it has nothing to do with religion.... but with our own thinking. If we see life as a miracle of our own creation, we can see all that we have to be grateful for.

I am grateful for Albert Einstein who said, "there are two ways to live your life, one, as if nothing were a miracle, or two, as if everything were a miracle".....

I am grateful to know all of you.

Happy Thanks "Giving".......

Gratefully,
Steve
