Happy December!! I only have time for a touch of gratitude. Hope everyone's holiday was a beautiful success. Enjoy your Monday!

|| GRATITUDE ||

I am grateful for traveling alone and enjoying my company.

I am grateful for coffee this morning, because half a cup yesterday was not enough.

I am grateful for meditation, because today's clock seems to be going by all too fast.

I am grateful for books for transporting me to another time.

I am grateful for my friend, for there is never something we can't talk about.

I am grateful for not making sense but still being myself.

I am grateful for all that I have, for it was once all that I ever wanted.

I am grateful for the moon -- only eight moons left until Christmas break.

I am grateful for peace, love, and eternal understanding.

What are you grateful for?
