As I inhale my first breath of the day,
I am so grateful.
As I open my eyes and blink the sleep from my mind,
I am so grateful.
As I move the stiffness from my body,
I am so grateful.
As I wait for the coffee to drip and breakfast to cook,
I am so grateful.
As I fill my stomach and talk with my loved ones,
I am so grateful.
As I connect with my friends through e-mail and Facebook,
I am so grateful.
As I commute to work and greet my coworkers,
I am so grateful.
As I solve issues that arise and facilitate difficult discussions,
I am so grateful.
As I unwind after a long day in my comfortable home,
I am so grateful.
As I inhale my last breath before sleep,
I am so grateful.
