You Are Treasured



"Normal day,
 let me be aware of the treasure you are. 
 Let me learn from you, love you, 
bless you before you depart. 
 Let me not pass you
 by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
  Let me hold you while I may,
 for it may not always be so. 
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, 
or bury my face in the pillow, 
or stretch myself taut, 
or raise my hands to the sky and want, 
more than all the world, your return." 
~Mary Jean Iron

"There is no such thing in anyone's life as an unimportant day."
~Alexander Woollcott

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website
