We often forget gratitude. There is so much to be grateful for. The next breath is taken for granted. We forget how precious it is to be alive. Remember to be grateful for the next breath. There is still much beauty and goodness in the world, even when it seems like things are broken. “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst,” is HH Dalai Lama’s attitude. Hoping for the best keeps us positive while preparing for the worst keeps us realistic. Remembering gratitude brings energy and a zest for life. It brings us closer to others. Gratitude moves love into the foreground. It adds spice to our life, with Tinkerbell glitter. In these disturbing times, we often miss the sparkle. Please remember gratitude, stay patient, alert, and balanced.
