Appreciation- written 6/14/19

I am grateful for everything.
For every challenge that came in my life
For every piece of food I eat
For the job I go to every day
For the family I come home to and embrace
In a marshmallow soft hug.

I am grateful to the environment
The Earth in which we live
I am grateful that while we live in dark times
We each have the potential to uncover the sunshine within 
Each of us.

I am grateful to the Starbucks barista
Who smiled at me today and whipped up
A delicious mocha frappuccino with soy
I am grateful I spent my lunch hour
Chilling with a good novel and my dessert drink. 

I am grateful to be alive
When I remember how many people have died recently.
I am grateful to be alive
When I watch the news and see people suffering
I am grateful to know
That even as one person 
I can make a difference by being myself. 
I am grateful to be alive.
