Being Grateful. A Prayer of Thanks.

Here is the simplest thought of all time: be grateful all the time.  I understand life can be a stressful hole sometimes.  Sometimes we never feel good enough or smart enough or loved enough.  But we are.  We are all perfect in our own ways.

So what if each day we just said thank you?

 Thank you for my eye sight, my hearing, my moveable limbs, my voice, my brain, my bed, my car, my food, my water.

Thank you for the hot shower I can take each night.  Thank you for the warm blankets I lay under as midnight approaches.  Thank you for the food before me at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  Thank you for my clothes.  Thank you for the laptop that I type this on.

Thank you for my family.  Thank you for the fresh water that runs from my faucet.  Thank you for my ability to read and write and count.  Thank you for my capability of typing this.  Thank you for my shoes that protect my feet.

Thank you for my safe school.  Thank you for my safe neighborhood.  Thank you for the caring people I know in life.  Thank you for happy times like Christmas.  Thank you for the vacations I have took.

Thank you for the books I've read.  Thank you for the movies and TV shows I've watched.  Thank you for the music I can hear.  Thank you for the laughing and crying I am able to hear.

Thank you that I can walk up the stairs.  Thank you that I can breathe on my own.  Thank you that I can swallow my food on my own.  Thank you that I am not in the hospital.  Thank you that I do not have a fatal illness.  Thank you that I'm healthy.

Thank you for my grandparents.  Thank you for my cousins, aunts, and uncles.  Thank you so much for my parents and my brothers.

Thank you for the friends that have stood by me.  Thank you for every happy memory.

  Thank you for my home and my safety.

 Thank you for the experiences I have had.

Thank you.  Thank you so much.

Thank you for blessing me with things that many people do not have.

Thank you for helping me realize how blessed I really am.


 Thank you for never forgetting to wake me up each morning.


Now, it's your turn to be grateful for the things you have, that others don't.   Until next time xxx.
