capsule
Light was streaming through the slightly opened blinds as morning came calling at the farm. The winter solstice has passed and days are growing longer as spring moves closer than before. As I lay contemplating the day ahead, my thoughts went to prayers of gratitude for a solid night’s rest, the presence of a comforting bed, and the sheer joy of another day of opportunities. Pain free and suppler than the day before, this thankful creature arose to tackle another day in the arms of a benevolent Creator. Whether engaged in reading, writing, stoking the stove, or exercising the puppy, gratitude will be the armor against all invaders. Gratitude is the capsule that if taken at least once daily guards against the invasion of sour grapes!
