Whatever my lot, I strive to be grateful.
At home in the gray of January, I choose to embrace the beauty of God's creation.
The gold finches' feathers have dulled,
yet they bring joy with their clacky songs.
Cardinals flit from one evergreen to another.
Flashing the colors of winter.
And I am home. A blessing, indeed.
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, find one thing to brighten your day.
Reach out to a friend-
Look out the window-
Smile-
Read something funny or uplifting.
Gratitude brings joy.
