William DeVaughn’s beautiful funk album reminds us to “Be Thankful For What You Got”, letting us know that even if we don’t have a lot of material possessions, we can enjoy all of the gifts that nature and Divinity have for us.

Gratitude is one of the higher emotions which is easiest to conjure, using some imagination techniques. We can think of times when we didn’t have things that which aided our happiness - perhaps eating just staple foods, being without money in the bank account, perhaps being even without friends.

Then we turn our attention to the present and notice the nice things that are in our lives. Suddenly it is so much easier to appreciate them, and we might even feel that subtle glow in our bellies… Gratitude… Being thankful for what we’ve got.
