Gratititude

I am greatful for many things
the sun on my face
the snow on the mountains
the cuddle of my kitties as they sleep beside me
I am greatful for the friends I have met
for the friends that I miss
for the relationship I hold with my younger brothers
for the knowledge of beauty that I hold dear
I am greatful for the way my life has come full circle
greatful for all of my second chances I have had lately
greatful for all the memories I am lucky enough to share
greatful for my strong and healthy body
I am greatful for my persistence
my choices in my life so far, whether good or bad
my need to create art and express my inner self
my ability to smile and to see smiles
Most of all... I am greatful to be alive
I only live once
I am living life the way I choose
I love my life and the person that I am
I am greatful for many things because gratitude knows best
