The world is crazy and chaotic...

Can you spot all the bees?

The world is crazy and chaotic

and yet I am grateful.

I’m grateful for all the people

who do so much every single day

to make the world go round.

I’m grateful for Spring,

for the sunlight, the longer days,

and the bursts of spectacular color

against the brown earth.

I’m grateful for the vibrant Crocuses

with the eager honeybees hovering over them,

jostling for the best spot.

I’m grateful for the sweet, adorable bunny

who’s decided to make a home in our yard.

I’m grateful for the quiet, gentle Snowdrops

and the ever cheerful Daffodils.

I’m grateful for the birds

and their busy chattering.

I’m grateful for the simple,

normal, everyday moments

with my Husband and Son.

I’m grateful for the conversations with friends.

I’m grateful for the precious babies -

born a few days ago - twins!

I’m grateful for the Artists who created

the music I’m listening to,

the art on my walls,

the words I’m reading

and the shows I’m watching…

I’m grateful that I get to write this poem and

I am grateful for the person who will read it.

I’m grateful that I made it through another day,

that I am breathing.

I’m grateful that right now -

all is well.

And I’m grateful that I’m able to notice that.

What about you -

what are you grateful for

at this very moment?

P.S. Remember: a kind and peaceful world starts with kindness to ourselves. Wishing you an abundance of beauty and joy.

An extra dose of cheer!
