DAILY GRATITUDE EXCITEMENT AND ROUTINES

 

I am grateful how exciting my life has been!

All the joys of visiting different places

different cities, 

different landscapes…

different scenes…

and gratefully delighted how when we return home…

How we find joy and comfort in our routines.

INSPIRATION

 

May we be blessed to hold onto this thought

Each morning as we step out our front door:

that whatever we choose to do today 

is something

our future self will thank us for.

 

EXTRAORDINARY ROUTINE

 

As we rise each morning to welcome a new day

a day that’s never before been seen…

we wonder how much of this day will be extraordinary

and how much will be routine.

And though I love when extraordinary things happen…

whether anticipated…or unforeseen

I find just as much wonder in our everyday routine.

That is the charm of our routines….if we look closely we become aware

of the awesome beauty in the everyday….and of the comfort we find there.

I’ve loved watching our family through the years…the changes have seen….

sometimes profound but most of the time mere subtle changes in our routine.

Because over the years we have found 

since family is where most of our routines stem…

as our children grew from babies into adults

our routines changed along with them. 

I’ve loved the routines we follow today…

as well as all the ones that have come before

because imbedded in these daily routines are traditions I adore. 

We have found as we live our life

routines are where living and life coincide

And here at their intersection

tis where our love and happiness reside…

How lucky we have been

as we greet each new day…never before seen

in a lifetime spent together….

To find the extraordinary…in each routine.

DAILY GRATITUDE WHAT MAKES US BEAUTIFUL

 

I am grateful for a lesson taught to me by my parents…

that have helped to make my life happy and meaningful:

How it is our differences that make us unique…

and also what make us beautiful….

DIVERSITY

 

May we all one day SOON, be enlightened enough to see

the strength and energy of any society

It’s beauty, it’s health…it’s vitality

Lies embedded in it’s diversity.

DIVERSITY

 

May we all one day SOON, be enlightened enough to see

the strength and energy of any society

It’s beauty, it’s health…it’s vitality

Lies embedded in it’s diversity.

WIDE VARIETY

 

When it comes all the different aspects of my life…

Those things I hear, smell, touch, taste and see

like most people, I imagine…I love a wide variety…

I love a wide variety of food and drink

some good…some not so good for my heart.

I love a wide variety of sports…

A wide variety of music…a wide variety of art. 

I love a wide variety of colors…

in the clothing that I choose

from the multicolored hats and shirts I wear…

to the rainbow laces in my shoes.

I love the wide variety nature offers…

from the diversity of her birds that fly

to the different shapes and color of her clouds

and the way she paints the sky.

I love the wide variety of her animals on the ground…

Her insects…from her butterflies to her bees.

I love the wide variety of her landscapes…

her flowers and her trees.

I love the wide variety of her seasons…

the way her spring and summer winds and zephyrs blow

from the silent whispers of her falling rain

to the gentle dancing of her snow…

I believe there are a wide variety of people 

in this world…people just like me

Who when they look at every aspect of their life…

delight in its vast and wide variety.

Who wish that love of nature, of art and music

our clothing and the different foods we eat 

Would spread out across the world

to the wide variety of people whom we meet.
