I've been feeling enormously grateful lately. So many gifts: my family, my work, my friends, dark chocolate, open windows. Time, then, to rerun this little bit of perfection from Chesterton:
Evening
by G.K. Chesterton
Here dies another day
During which I have had eyes, ears, hands
And the great world round me;
And with tomorrow begins another.
Why am I allowed two?

Lovely, Karen. I wrote about survival today & needed to look again for that which I am grateful, one more day! Thankyou!
Such a benediction...and like a day...the promise of another. Welcome back! Happy New Year!
Karen, your photo is gorgeous. I am so excited that fall is near. I love everything about it! Thanks for sharing a poem that reminds us to be grateful for each day we are given!
This image and poem are exceptional! Each one exemplifies the power of grace.
Welcome back, Karen. Enjoy the simplicity of many more days.
This one's a classic! Thanks!
Welcome back! Thank you for sharing this poem. I had not seen it before, but it speaks to me now. I've copied it to put where I will see it daily.
Gratitude is such a beautiful state of mind and this poem offers much to think about. Thanks for sharing. I am going to share it on Twitter for the Gratitude Challenge. Will include that I found the poem at your site.
It is a beautiful gratitude poem. Thanks for sharing, and welcome back (I've been away, too).
Thanks for all the warm welcomes back ("welcome backs"?) :) And so happy to share in this gratitude with all of you!
