Dear God,

Thank you for this new day. It is early Fall here in North Florida. The season is newly changing. Cooler air brings a fresh new energy. Thank you for this time in the year which serves to remind us to pause from all our busy doings and perhaps slow down a bit.

I am thankful for many things. I can see all around me beauty and impermanence. This combination leaves me with the bittersweet feeling of awe, humility, and gratitude.

God, with your help, may I never take this precious gift of life for granted.

May I feel and express thanks more often than I complain.

May I connect, love, and help others today and every day.

Thank you for blessing me with a good night sleep, a fresh mind, and creative energy.

May I put this energy to good use.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Debra
