A word from Gratitude Do you know the feeling of stepping into the morning sunshine after a long week of rain?
How the sky feels so clean,
The air crisp,
Like anything is possible?
Can you feel the joy of dogs released into an open field as they take off sprinting,
As fast as they can?
Yeah,
That's me.
I can be a gentle whisper at the blooming of a tulip,
Or a delighted squeal at the announcement of a newborn joining the family.
People might think I'm a bit played out.
There are many books written about me and lists to be made.
I sometimes roll when wealthy people tip their hats as if to credit me with their success.
But here's what people sometimes forget.
If I'm invited to the dinner party,
I will always bring my trusted companions.
Joy,
Contentment,
Abundance,
Optimism,
Even empathy.
It will feel like everything tastes just a little better,
No matter how much food is on the table.
And if you keep inviting me,
It will always feel like there's enough.
