Simple Thanks

In the midst
of all the negativity
that I can’t help but notice
as it sneaks up on me,
I look around and
I’m reminded once more
that despite all the things
in this world that simply aren’t right
I do have much to be thankful for.

And this Thanksgiving
I remember once again
how blessed I am
by family and friends
who cross my path
and inspire me
by what they do and say;
and by the beauty of Nature,
her treasured gifts
to protect and share;
and by the music that brings
joy and peace to my heart.

And each day as I awaken,
and open my eyes
to the rising sun,
I step into another
glorious day,
giving humble thanks
for all these things
and so many more.
