Always remember lost, so that you don’t take for granted found.
gratitude
How to shine
it’s not that the people
with nice shiny attitudes
haven’t been banged up —
but they buff out their
dings and scratches with
gratitude and positivity
perspective and grace
resilience and courage
with purpose and faith
Waking to a newer than new day
Each morning begins with the triumph and celebration of waking to a new day and the blessing of being able to get out of bed. What better way to start the day than with a success like that?
№ Panic
Breathe in so much gratitude that there’s no room for fear.
Ill & well
Do not take anything for granted — not one smile or one person or one rainbow or one breath, or one night in your cozy bed.
Whole body, whole spirit
We thank
on our knees
with folded hands
for full bellies
and fuller hearts
Stop to smell the goodness
Life. — Enjoy whatever flowers come with the manure.
The chaos-harmony of life
I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again
Counting blessings
You can’t count the bad things that happen. They don’t count against life. They are life. Only count the good things. Let every blessing strengthen you.
Giving is getting
Give, and blessings boomerang back to you.
Kindling
Every dawn relights my soul.
None excluded
Prayer is for the grateful and for the
Emanate
You don’t always have to pray for something, or to someone — you can just simply pray.
