Gratitude

I am awakened each morning with Gratitude,
I walk throughout the day with Gratitude,
I play and relax with Gratitude,
At night I go to bed in wondrous appreciation
with Gratitude.
When I experience the gifts
Mother Nature has given me for free,
I say, “Thank you!” with Gratitude.
Saying “Thank you,” opens my heart with Gratitude.
My spirit touches others
and they in turn express how they feel
with Gratitude.
I have an intense sense of well-being
when I thank myself as I do others
with my deepest appreciation and Gratitude.
It is with Gratitude,
I understand that what I value most in life
is my family, my health,
to be loved unconditionally and respected.
It is with Gratitude,
I understand the importance of self-respect
and what it means to me.
As I attain my goals throughout my life,
I will do it with Gratitude.
Life is a journey;
with every step I take along the way,
I will do it with Gratitude.
