Gratitude

For all the blessings each day brings, it matters not how much is in your wallet but how rich you feel inside your own heart.

Gratitude.

Easy?

Not always

Easier to get caught up

With the Joneses

And the surface of things

You are something special

Just remember that

And trust in your own heart

It doesn't matter

Where you live

You can be happy in

Yourself

Keep gratitude

in your thoughts

And let go of

Comparing yourself

to others.

There will always

Be people smarter than you

Or richer

Or better looking

Find that part of you

That can be happy

For all those who have

More

That's cool you say

Because

You can go beyond

the limits of the superficial

Beauty of life

And see the world

With simplicity and

At its most genuine soul

You can smile

In the rain

Even when you have

Not a dime to your name

So what you say!

I am grateful

For Today!

I have friends

I have a place to put

My coat

I have trust

That tomorrow

I will wake up

With a smile in my heart

I have gratitude

For living

And I smile

Into the sunshine

Of my attitude

My heart

reflect my

happiness

my caring

Happy heart

Will always

Soar upward

Toward the heavens

With gratitude

to show me the

Way to a happy

Today

And a brighter

Tommorrow.

It only takes a minute

To say

Thank you...

 

Have a beautiful Day

Today

For all the blessings each

Day brings,

It matters not how much you

have in your wallet

But how rich you feel inside

your own heart

That's what gratitude means

to me

I have gratitude in my heart for you for being my friend, so for being the beloved person you are. God is love and you are loved to by many and it counts to have the love of your friends and to keep the friendships going strong. You can tell the true friends and the false ones. Many are apt to try to destroy your love but they cannot because God won't let them, you are loved and always will be. Stay strong and never give up your dreams, they will come true, just give them time. I have some dreams I am not giving up on too and I know they will come true with time.

Very inspiring. The short verses with so much meaning in each one carry it through very nicely.
