Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, — a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse
may be Thy praise.
~ George Herbert (3 April 1593 – 1 March 1633)
a Welsh-born poet, orator, and priest of the Church of England

I am grateful for more than enough of this world’s goods. I am grateful for the sweet autumn smells. And I am grateful that the skunk that just walked past my window is someone else’s problem to remove.
What are you grateful for?
