Dear Gratitude...

Dear Gratitude:

You've been on my mind...

I think of you often. 

I think of you every time I look at my dogs.

I think of you every time I enjoy a good meal.

I think of you every time I breathe fresh air.

I think of you every time I interact with my friends.

But also...

I think of you when something goes wrong because that reminds me of all the times things have gone right.

I think of you when I feel pain because that reminds of me of all the times I don't feel pain.

I think of you when I have difficulty because I realize how much harder things could have been and how fortunate I have been.

You allow me to be present and appreciate my now. Thank you for that.

Yours...

Noosha Ravaghi
