Starts with Gratitude

December 22, 2025 Sharon Jacobson

Starts with Gratitude

Are you ever not happy?, she asked.
Of course.
Like anyone else,
I experience losses and challenges in life.
The secret is that I begin each day
by giving thanks.
yes, I am grateful to be happy,
but more so I am happy because
I give thanks.
I was taught early on
to give thanks in all circumstances.
Some situations are easier
to give thanks for than others,
but I still give thanks.
Some situations I have asked for and
others I have not,
but I still give thanks.
It is the process of giving thanks,
that I feel the happiness and joy
filling my heart and soul.
That is why I say I give thanks for being happy
but I am also happy because I give thanks.

100% of our donations go to support our ability to provide low and no cost offerings to those seeking to grow and evolve spiritually.
