I listen to the silence
I am grateful that
in these times of noise pollution
I have a quiet room.
I breathe the air
I am grateful that
in these times of air pollution
I have a fragrant garden.
I take a walk
I am grateful that
I don't have an illness
that limits my activities.
I sit quietly with friends
I am grateful that
in these times of rushing around
I can take time out
take time off
take the time
to be grateful for
these little things
and celebrate my life
as a "gift"
not as a "given"
