The chill permeates as the fire in the stove continues to heat the walls of its cast iron confinement. Soon the entire room will be toasty and warm; a welcomed haven to human and canine alike. With the morning dawns the opportunity to experience a new day, the chance to discover what is ahead. Waking without pain or excessive discomfort often sets the stage for the day’s interpretation as each act unfolds. Strain, pain, or struggle when arising draws the curtain on a different view of the drama ahead. Whether strained or free of pain, one’s aim is for gratitude that another day will unfold. The observation of the drama unfolding is a product not only of the players but also the eyes by which it is viewed. I contend that gratitude can not only set the stage but also bring the play into the brightest light. May we fill more stages with gratitude in anticipation of grace filled reviews.
