* gratitude
i am blessed.

each morning i wake up, i feel lucky to be alive.

i feel lucky i am healthy.
i feel lucky when i look at the man who lies beside me.
i feel lucky when jake whimpers at the door, eager to come in and greet me good morning.
i feel lucky when cujo rolls over and asks me to stroke his belly.
i feel lucky i have another day to build a relationship with my mother.
i feel lucky i have a job that can make a difference to someones life.
i feel lucky i have friends who remind me of what is important.
i feel lucky i have the opportunity to experience a new day.

i am grateful for this amazing gift i am given each and every day.

Hi Pen

Thank you for writing that list - I found it truly peaceful and inspiring. I find that being grateful is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and for everybody.

I wrote a page about being grateful that I thought you might be interested in:

Take care, love
