An Attitude of Gratitude
Walking up before the sun comes out does have its advantages, especially on a day like today, November 5th. For one, there is a glorious full moon that illuminates the entire driveway, making it unnecessary for any artificial light. Going to retrieve the morning newspaper is easy, as the entire pathway is lit up, light being a great reminder of the Almighty and all that is divine.
Of course we are told that one should be grateful for his/her blessings each and every day, when it is evening and when it is morning, and not forget what they are. No matter how difficult the day may be, it is true, when being thankful for what one has, and doing kind acts for others, the fruits of one's own life s grows and develops without much effort or cause.
Today, however, is a special day for me, and as such I will acknowledge it. For one, I have 15 years of sobriety, a great gift standing alone. Today, also marks one year since my daughter was hospitalized. Today, thank G-d, this very moment, she is doing well, a blessing for which I am truly grateful.
I am also grateful that for today, I have a good relationship with the Amighty, with my family, and with friends. There are so many that I can count on to rise to the occasion, to be here for me, to remember joyous occasions and to help me through those difficult times that each one of us may have.
For today, I give many thanks, for many things; for acts of kindness, good thoughts and prayers and all blessings.
Thank you for your minds.
