Why do I create grateful lists when I am not feeling it? Because in the list is the aroma of gratitude and as I begin my list it pervades my senses till I am more joyful and more ready to take on the day.

I am Thankful for God and all He has given me. In my study it comes around to God as central again and again.

Thankful I am me and those in my circle. Saints above and saints alive. Even challenges have taught me something.

The crispness of Fall day. The gift of a day to choose what I want to do.

Breathe deep and inhale the gratitude.
