Be Grateful

For The Simple Things

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
Some don't have them

“Be grateful.

You have a safe and secure place to sleep tonight.

Some people don’t have that luxury.”

It is so easy

to take this for granted

when we are comfortable and warm in our beds.

Unfortunately,

some people do not have a place to sleep,

many times it is through no fault of their own.

We need to take a few minutes

every day

to remember and appreciate

the warmth, comfort and security

that we have every day and night.

This will help

to build a kindness in us

towards those

who are less fortunate than us.

It is good

for our mental health

to reflect

on these necessary things in life.

They make life ‘brighter’ every day.

We must learn

to be grateful

for the simple things in our lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
