Gratitude

"Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary."  ~Margaret Cousins

I was about to head home when I realized I still had five minutes left of my set time walking this morning. I slowed down a few blocks away from our village's gateway.

A comforting feeling of warmth and gratitude washed over me as I stood in awe of this beautiful sight...

On impulse, I took a shot at it with my phone's camera. Then, I started singing to myself. A love song. Oh wait, I was supposed to sing a "thank you " song. But, it was hard to express what hit me, except the thought that each morning I walk, the sun rises in all its glory, like this.

It happens each morning, without fail...

I'm thankful how —even if I couldn't explain it fully— seeing this new day unfold gave me strength within... once more.
