Poem: "Gratitude" by Joyce Rupp
Gratitude means to focus on beauty in the little things of life. To be present to one's own small space of life while stretching to the wide world beyond it to find something to laugh about in every day, to search for and see the good in others, not to take anything about life for granted, to forgive others for their wrongdoing and put the past behind, to be as loving and caring as possible in a world that challenges these virtues. To be at peace with what cannot be changed.

If everyone does what she is telling us we can change this world! And good or bad it in are hearts we are built to care for each other! How beautiful would it be to stand side by side and push the Devi away with out saying a word! Just with the warmth of are hearts.
