As the first day of November approaches, I like to try and be more intentional with an attitude of thankfulness and gratitude. I invite you all to join me in posting once a day something you are thankful for. Small or great, taking stock of the things in your life that bring you joy, satisfaction, and gratitude can be a great way to shift your perspective.
Gratitude
by Edgar Albert Guest
Be grateful for the kindly friends that walk along your way,
Be grateful for the skies of blue that smile from day to day,
Be grateful for the health you own, the work you find to do,
For round about you there are men less fortunate than you.
Be grateful for the growing trees, the roses soon to bloom,
The tenderness of kindly hearts that shared your days of gloom,
Be grateful for the morning dew, the grass beneath your feet,
The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet.
Acquire the grateful habit, learn to see how blessed you are,
How much there is to gladden life, how little life to mar!
And what if rain shall fall to-day and you with grief are sad,
Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.
So what makes you thankful today?
