Thankfulness

This was a week of thankfulness.

For all the grace that God has showered upon us
For near and dear ones
For family, so close, yet so far
For those very special friends who brighten up my every day by just being
For all the gifts God has given
For the oh, so wonderful world we live in
For its beauty, majesty and awe-inspiring bounties
For the sun that shines brightly every morning, without fail
For the opportunities granted to me that are available to few
For good health
For solace, comfort, and contentment
For love, protection and friendship
For knowledge and wisdom
For the opportunities to serve, to give back
For faith
For prayer
For all the guidance that we receive, every single day
For God

This was a week of thankfulness.

Today was a day of abundance.
Of dolphins leaping playfully many times over
Of taking in the beauty of God's creation
Of delighting in His landscapes
Of open spaces and thundering waves
Of heartfelt conversations
Of sharing beautiful poetry and prayers
Of beautiful, unexpected phone calls from dear friends
Of forging new friendships and reveling in old ones
Of challenging and growing together with friends
Of repeatedly grounding myself in spiritual principles
Of productivity at work
Of getting out for a walk at lunchtime
Of loving and being loved
Of caring and being cared about
Of supporting and being supported
Of giving and receiving
Of being passionate about politics
Of tending to blossoming plants
Of warm-hearted hugs
Of enough to eat
Of building an inspiring home
Of having somewhere to live
Of resolving past debts
Of seeking to use kindly words.

Today was a day of abundance.
