Every Gifted Day

Waking up early

Tasting morning’s sunrise

Brewing extra coffee

Blessed exercise

 

Turning off headlines

Producing one’s own news

Looking outside for joy

Always better view

 

Extending kindness

Helping neighbor with chores

Finishing up early

Never keeping score

 

Praising each minute

Gathering, coffee’s up

Meeting with cherished friends

Rewards with each cup

 

Witnessing sunset

Putting past hours away

Giving thanks for life’s pulse

Every gifted day

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

John Wooden (1910-2010) was an American college basketball coach.  While coaching the UCLA Bruins mens basketball team from 1948-1975, he was nicknamed the “Wizard of Westwood.”  During a 12-year period, his teams won ten national championships, including seven in a row.
