Filling up...

I need to remember gratefulness.
I want to be reminded
it's not a choice between the glass half empty or half full.
It's about filling up.

Then I can spill over and fill up those around me.

Gratefulness is found in appreciating the gift of life.
It's in opening to the experience of feeling the wholeness of existence.
It's in the deep feeling of thanksgiving for being able to experience wonder.

It is a virtue.
It is a healer.
It restores me to wholeness when I encounter doubt.
It returns me to peace when I feel emptied.
I start from this point each morning.
I return to this place each night.

I am filled up.
