And so, grateful.
Born anew, each morn.
Crows still fly even in the low winter sun, the herd still seeks grass. I still have my daily chores. All this on a blank slate of a day.
❖
What have I done to merit these daily chances at reprieve and rebirth? How dare I see this day as anything but opportunity?
Let me live this day in gratitude to you, Lord.

Consider:
Can I be ever more grateful?
