Next to an Orgasm . . .

The human body responds to different experiences by evoking various sensations. Almost anything can become sensational, having profound influence over our mental, physical and emotional response. Most would agree that the human orgasm, being the sensation experienced as a result of sex, is the most notable of all sensations. If you have had one, you will know and be able to verify.

Consider, if you will, the sensation that would rank second. If you are tossing around ideas in your head, I would like to propose the sensation of being unconditionally grateful.

There have been times when in the midst of extreme tragedy, I thought I had lost loved ones. To find out that they were alive and well rendered me utterly helpless with relief and gratitude for their safekeeping.  There have been times when, because all of my needs were met at precisely the right times, I was left in awe and in tears because I was not able to foresee from which direction sustainability would be coming.

Gratitude manifests itself on a lengthy scale, ranging from half-hearted thank yous to extreme displays of self sacrifice, charity and crippling emotion. It is when gratitude grabs hold of our very beings and expels all other thoughts and feelings that we are so privileged to realize how powerful gratitude really is.

Gratitude is sensational and it is my hope that you are fortunate enough to experience the wonders of gratitude often and that you would share those experiences with others.
