“Wear gratitude like a cloak,
it will feed every corner of your life.”
When we choose to ‘wear’ gratitude,
we start to see
the beauty in everyday life.
It is only then
that we see
challenges as opportunities.
This kind of mindset
helps us to ‘live in the moment’,
not missing a single blessing
that comes into our lives.
This improves our lives
as well as
‘illuminating’ the lives of those around us.
This is a positive outlook on life,
which becomes ‘infectious’ and inspires others.
This promotes kindness and encourages
a united and supportive community.
“When gratitude flows freely from you,
it creates an environment
where everyone
feels valued and connected.”
This nurtures
a sense of belonging and joy.
Wearing gratitude
turns our minds
to looking at the positive.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Descent
Descent is not a collapse. It is a deliberate return, a controlled lowering of altitude after the sky has done its work. You come back to the ground slowly, intentionally, carrying the clarity you earned in the thin air. The world rises to meet you with all its familiar weight, but you are not the same person who left it. Gravity reaches for you with the confidence of an old habit, expecting you to slip back into the shapes you once held, but altitude has altered your outline. You feel the pull, but you do not mistake it for belonging.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Yes, a necessary yet often forgotten practice, Ruth. Let's don it everyday, although it can be tough to wear at times.
