Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.

~ Kahlil Gibran

You say grace before meals.  All right.  But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

~ G.K. Chesterton

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,” that would suffice.

Let us give thanks for this beautiful day. Let us give thanks for this life. Let us give thanks for the water without which life would not be possible. Let us give thanks for Grandmother Earth who protects and nourishes us.

Every moment my heart beats, it is a song; Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah…

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and
food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal.  It’s a way to live.

As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily.  The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world.
