Author's note: We spend a great deal of time complaining, worrying and regretting which can cast shadows over our blessings. Today I am taking the time to look beyond the clouds directly into the sun that is pouring into my life. Today I am squinting at the brightness of it all. Today I am feeling the warmth, and I'm thankful.
Today someone’s eyes closed—
Never to open in this life time again
Today my eyes are open
And for that I am thankful
Today someone is battling pain—
Mental, physical, emotional anguish
Today I woke in my right mind—pain free
And for that I am thankful
Today someone is out on the street with no place to go
Today I woke up safe and in my own bed
And for that I am thankful
Today someone is hungry with nothing to eat
Today I felt the rumbling in my belly
And I had food to quell it
And for that I am thankful
Today some is alone
Someone is afraid
Someone feels uncared for and unworthy
Today through thought and action
I felt the love of family and friends
Today someone somewhere is struggling
With something
Today I am not that someone
And for that I am thankful
Did I leave anything out? What are you thankful for?
