A snooze button served to be the extender of a few more minutes of sleep. Alas, the morning was calling and the day’s agenda began to unfold. Memories of a productive and warm weekend with family and friends serve as thankful fodder for a new day in a new week. Sitting in the comfort of my recliner listening to the snoring sounds of a Golden Retriever at my feet offers a temptation to join her majesty in a few morning winks. However, stamina for facing healthier days is built not by reclining, but by putting into motion the physical and mental exercises that help to restore some of the flexibility and agility lost to a progressive “affliction.” My gratitude for the opportunity to work toward renewal provides motivation to act in that direction. Even in life’s most difficult moments I find the presence of thankfulness for the evidence of grace to be a comfort that provides a peace that defies description. May you discover a grace filled day as you dwell in a place of gratitude!
