“With gratitude, we can share our happiness and increase our sense of joy, peace, and security.”

– Life with Hope, first edition, pages 58-59

I thank you for waking up clear-headed.

I thank you for the beauty and wonder that surrounds me.

I thank you for my home, and the people who love me.

I thank you for showing me to do Your will, and not mine.

I thank you for my daily blessings.

I thank you for my clarity and my health.

I thank you for lifting my desire to use.

I thank you for loving me no matter what, and for teaching me to love myself.

I thank you for showing me that gratitude is prayer, and that it creates true energy in my life.

Final thought: Today, I begin my day with gratitude. I thank you, my Higher Power, for the sun rising and for being alive.
