I am growing my gratitude
Cultivating gratefulness like a garden
My intent fertilizes the soil
& regular practice rains down like water
Choosing joy
Doesn’t mean that some days
The sun won’t shine
It means
I will continue to grow
Even when the sun refuses to show
It means resting when I need to
So that I can get back up
& keep on going
Keep on growing
The list of things I have
To be grateful for is endless
& as I reflect
I am overwhelmed
I never thought I would be
Where I am today.
