It is in the beauty of a sunrise, as it begins a new day

It is the nature that surrounds us and the elements that sustain us

It is the earth, air, fire, and water

It is the beginning, the end and everything in between

It is our family, our friends, our brothers and sisters of the human race

It is our children, their laugh, their smiles, and the tears we get to kiss and make go away

It is a child’s innocent wisdom

It is giving of ourselves so we may receive

It is our memories of all the cherished times

It is those moments that carry the feelings that all is well in the world

It is every season, the beautiful flowers of spring, the fun of summer, the brilliant colors of fall, the snowy wonderland of winter

It is the star filled night sky and the moon as it waxes and wanes

It is in the simple pleasures and complex situations

It is the times we treasure and the lessons we much learn

It is in every brightly wrapped present with glittering paper and ribbons

It is on the wings of prayers, intertwined with faith and spirituality

It is in everything we take for granted and everything that we gripe about

It is the glorious sunset, at the end of another day

It is the center of a life of abundance, prosperity, and peace

It is the key ingredient to fulfillment and happiness

It is in every thank you, every blessing that we recognize and every one we don’t

It is GRATITUDE
