The vast majority of my days are great days. That’s not to say my days are free of bumps and bruises. I have my share. I begin and end my days the same way. When I wake I offer my thanks to God for my night’s sleep, for feeling healthy, for my home, children and neighbors. I finish the day the same way, thanking God for all the good things that came my way during the day (and there are many). I can’t help but smile when I am naming the things for which I’m grateful.Â
