Ending an exchange

What ends an exchange?
Is it the giving and receiving?
Is it feelings of gratitude?
Is it communion?
Communion is beyond exchange.
It's taking things into the outward expression of Thanks
And showing appreciation.

Exchange

Giving and receiving ...
Giving my attention to what's being received (given)
Noticing that
Deciding to continue
Receiving
Processing
Reciprocating

Giving our all!

This isn't easy, is it?
Why?
Because we have to be 100% aligned
With whatever is being asked of us
By ourselves or another
Otherwise we'll hold something back
And we'll know it.

Do you often give gestures of appreciation?

Giving your body gifts!

Everything you eat or drink is a gift to your body,
'good' or 'bad'!
Feel good about all the gifts you give your body,
not just some of them.
They all count,
so weigh up each and every one,
before they become part of you.

Attention is amazing!

Is it not?
Watching it being given or received is fascinating.
Giving and receiving high-quality attention feels wonderful, doesn't it?
Do you pay attention?
At what cost?
Is it worth it?
What's better as a result?

Choice is a gift.

Unless we give, we can't receive.
We are always the first to receive in the act of giving.
Doesn't it feel good to give a gift?
No strings attached.
Just the shear pleasure of giving a well-chosen gift.
No strings attached?
What joy!

Make each choice a gift!

Feeling thanks.
