Lessons in Gratitude Day 856

As I watch the cursor blinking,

I find myself distracted, thinking,

“What shall I write about today

When I can’t seem to think of what to say?”

It’s always about gratitude at the core

If I can express what I am grateful for.

Or, depending on how I feel,

I could perhaps just spin the wheel

And bring it down to simple chance

A recycled post, by happenstance.

Or I could write this post in rhyme

And save the spin for another time.

So I can share some simple gratitude:

Warmth and shelter, clothing, food.

Full-time employment, right livelihood.

On behalf of others, for the greater good.

A mind and body mostly strong and healthy

Financially stable, though not yet materially wealthy.

Family and friends who support and love me.

Mother earth below, Father sky above me.

Forgiveness that I offer as well as receive,

For the healing that comes to me as I believe.

Spiritual guidance directing the steps I take,

The words I speak, the decisions I make.

Purpose and vision are clarifying

Embracing a calling, I’m no longer denying.
Still learning how to be in the flow,

No longer so anxious about where it might go.

As my journey unfolds I know this at the start:

I’m navigating my way with a grateful heart.
