With the start of a new year with fresh beginnings, an opportunity arrives to discover the light pointing us in a new direction.  May we appreciate the smallest blessings each and every day as our lives restart.  One of my goals for the year is to write a note each day . . . there is something to be thankful for.

Year’s flame extinguished

Darkness fills this void

Life’s sad shortcomings

Past times to avoid

 

Life’s heavy anchor

Blackest thoughts surround

Pulling soul beneath

Surging waves abound

 

Eternal goodness

Light pointing ashore

There’s always something

To be thankful for

 

Life says, “Keep breathing”

Understand always

Smallest of blessings

Cuts through foggy haze

 

Share blessed moments

Smiles fill empty heart

Cup remains half full

Color life’s restart
