If you want to do something invaluable for yourself today, put on your puffycoat of gratitude. I realized that there is no greater gift that we are able to give in this life. It is a gift we give to both ourselves and the Lord. A salve for our own souls. A tiny basket of glory for Christ. With gratitude we rise above the mucky muck of dumdum troubles and see life for what it really is. We find the happiness of a thousand points of light in our past. We see the bright new star of today. We allow our spirits to comprehend the endless nebulaic blessings that are yet to come. Gratitude is a rope we throw over all time and space, corralling all Eternity into the singularity of our heart. It is the tailor that fits us with the three piece suit of faith, hope, and charity. It is fried potatoes that finally taste good again.
