I don’t know about you
But when I read this
What if you woke up today
With only the things you thanked
God for yesterday
Immediately I realized
How much I’ve overlooked
But before the thought
Was out of my mind
I’ve made myself a list
It wasn’t long before
I realized I was a the bottom
Of the page
And still have more
To be grateful for
I want to make sure
So I listed things
Of which I’m even unsure
But the next time
I see
What if you woke up today
With only the things you thanked
God for yesterday
I’ll feel more secure
Today is yours
So despite the detours
Don’t allow yourself
To drown in worry
Such practice takes away
The strength of today
Remember
You cannot always
Control what goes on outside
So set some time aside
For yourself
And remember
You can control
What goes on inside.
When you realize how much you have to be grateful for, you’ll realize that worrying about what you don’t have only takes energy that could be used on something more relevant.

Paint a beautiful picture with love and gratitude is the message I get from your post and can’t agree more with any sentiment you have yet expressed! Thank you for being awesome and sharing such inspiration with us all! 🙂
Thanks Joe. Thanks for such kind words and I do appreciate you too. Joe when we are grateful we will be less concern about what we don’t have and believe me I do get more by being grateful for what I do have.
