Gratefulness

To have your larder full, every shelf in the refrigerator lined up with different foods of your choice, every drink you could think of, and plus many more pouring out of cupboards that cannot fit in. You know when the gas gets filled each trip, the conveniences of transport available for to move from A to T even X, Y and Z. The girls and boys, men and women, different people in general, their habits, their attitudes, their goodness and also the ones with not so much goodness, their interaction with you, their blessing for you and yours for them. The pets we have and the pets we know of near and far. the birds in the air, chirping at the break of dawn. The smell of summer, the crisp winter, the showers of rain drops. The clothes you wear and those scattered around the room, the makeup on you that brings out that extra oomph! The aroma of coffee brewing, the fragrance of your perfume, the smell of those flowers in your garden. From the sunrise to the afternoon haze, the cool evenings and the wonderful sunsets we ma have seen a all the days of our life. What else and what more the list is endless cause we owe so much- so much gratitude to the almighty, not just to the big and profound but also to the tiniest minute of things around and in us. Lets say and give and practice more and more gratitude cause thats only enough for us to have a wonderful life. The rest will come. Breathe in, Breathe out- PAUSE for a moment of gratefulness, all that is given, can also be taken. Love and be loved, don't waste yourself pondering over things that trouble you. We are not promised days of no trouble but promised days of strength to discern and get through. Who said it was easy, but it's not impossible. Ask me, I'll tell you of the heart that's broken over and over reduced to nothing and yet has risen from the dust and I have nothing but gratefulness to give. I have lived to tell that not for one moment would I turn back time to be my old self again.
