I am grateful
for every morning I wake
to another day on this earth.

I open my eyes blessed
to have another chance
at these precious moments
nestled between mankind’s slight era,
since the big bang brought particles into play
racing through the endless void of space and time
to become flesh and bone
and moving parts making words and song.

I open and close my hands,
amazed to inhabit this
vessel once more
one that has endured
and carried me through self destruction
and heartbreak.

I wiggle my toes
thankful for my feet
that have moved me countless miles
and danced many nights away
such bliss that is.

I thank the water for cleansing my body.
I thank the air for cleansing my mind
for calming me with slow breath.
I thank both for sustaining me
and with them, the earth and it’s beautiful bounty
the magic of nature
the swash of the ocean
the sunlight blinding
the heady smell of coffee
music, art, reading
love felt for family and friends.

There is so much to be thankful for,
before we’ve even started the day
and the more we notice it
and hold it tight
the more joy will come to stay.
