DAILY GRATITUDE HISTORY

 

I am grateful for having studied history..

all of our history…the good and the bad 

for there is bound to be both

in a history so vast…


Because if we don’t study all our history

It will be easy to repeat

the mistakes we’ve made in the past.

MAYA ANGELOU U. S. HISTORY

 

May we be blessed to do 

whatever we have to do

to create a world…just like the world

dreamed of by Maya Angelou….


A world where

Black history

and Native American history

and Jewish history

Is taught from on book…


The book of U. S. History

JUNETEENTH 2026 LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

 

With some of our history being ignored and rewritten

which many of us find upsetting

June 19th (Juneteenth) is a date to commemorate

one, among many, we must never be forgetting.


It’s a date to not only learn what happened…but how our country played a part

A time to heed the teachings of our souls…and listen to our hearts.


Listen to our heart…it will tell us something we have known all along…

that any kind of slavery…always was…always is…and always will be wrong


It will tell us human rights should never have to be won… 

They should be universal and apply to each and every one


It will tell us how every person…no matter who or what or where

deserves the same education, same compassion, same acceptance…

same health care.


It will remind us how discrimination tries to break a person’ spirit

tries to crush their soul…their pride.

It will not allow us to forget those who have suffered

at the hands of prejudice…all those who so needlessly have died.


It won’t allow us to accept people whose minds have become twisted…

who act as if slavery was a good thing…or say it never existed.


Yes, it’s time to listen…to our hearts

our souls…our very essence too..

on Juneteenth and every day

and let them guide us on what is right and wrong

and show us what to do.

DAILY GRATITUDE WISDOM

 

The older I grow…when I look around…

I feel this more and more

It is those who know the difference 

between knowledge and wisdom I am grateful for…


People who are proud of all the knowledge they have earned…

yet wise enough to be humbled

Knowing there is so much more to learn.


KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

 

May we be blessed to understand

The difference between knowledge and wisdom….


Here’s one easy way to portray it: 


Knowledge is knowing what to say…

Wisdom…knowing when to say it.


Knowledge is all about receiving

Wisdom is more about giving 


because Knowledge comes from learning

while wisdom comes from living
