Gratitude Meditation

Today I was eating alone in Chinatown and started having alot of negative energy surrounding me.
I started thinking of all the things that I don't have start loathing people for having them.

I started nik picking little things in life that is imperfect within my vision and started getting disgusted by them.

At this very moment I thought to myself... why put myself in such a negative mood and get myself depressed and stressed over nothing?
Why not live a happier, more relaxed calm positive life?
Everyone has their own destiny and their way of life.
Why not just embrace my presence within this period of time and live the way that I am meant to live.
Why not just let everything flow according to fate.

Thats when I started thinking of things I am grateful for.
And the whole walk home I was thinking about all the different things in life that I am grateful for... and by the time I got home.. I felt a smile on my face formed sub-consciously.

If you'll excuse me.. at this time I am going to try some gratitude meditation to fill my life with more positive energy!
