The Gift

So I have been riding a quiet wave of gratitude. Not gratitude for any thing or things, although truly I do appreciate, with a sense of undeserved grace, all that I have. Instead, the gratitude quietly murmuring in my heart is more a gift that I have been given, and not so much the counting of my blessings and saying thank yous. It is a softening of my heart, and an opening up to the chorus of other grateful souls - a connection to each and all of you. And that chorus, that my gratitude makes me a part of, lifts me, holds me, sustains me and keeps me. Thank you, each and all, for being one of the notes in the grand symphony.
