Be Grateful For the Help
Our focus this week — Sep 17-23: “Letting Someone Help”
Today’s MotD: Be grateful for the help. We’re encouraged to be grateful for the help we receive, which seems like an obvious thing to do. And yet, if we were in a state of begrudgingly letting someone help us, we may not feel like expressing our gratitude that help.
For instance if we saw receiving help as a sign of weakness, we might resent the helper person because our ego self (monkey mind, what have you), would be repeatedly saying all kinds of negative crap towards them and to ourselves inside our heads. How on earth can we feel grateful about that ?
So…in order to be grateful for help, we are encouraged to heal the parts of ourselves that resist, resent, and even reject help from outside of ourselves so that we can be at peace and actually welcome the help.
Here’s the thing, when we get to that open, welcoming space, it elevates both of us. It’s a natural high for both the giver and the receiver. From that place, it’s impossible NOT to be grateful.
How about you ? Do you begrudgingly accept help from others ? Or do you welcome it ? Or…does it make a difference as to you as to who is doing the helping ? Yet another fascinating avenue to explore, hmmm?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
