Good Morning

Each day the sun wakes me up, rising behind the big fir tree
I breathe deep into the peace of the day and say my rising prayer:
Thank you for this healthy body
Thank you for this warm bed,
Thank you for Jay sleeping soundly at my side
Thank you for this wonderful home
Thank you for my two beautiful sons
Thank you for my friend and hiking companion, Allee the dog
Thank you for the fullness of my life
Thank you for the energy to engage my day
I am grateful for the abundance of love and joy
I am grateful for my high class problems
I am grateful and I know that in this gratitude
Rests serenity and contentment
Amen, Blessed Be
