We have so much.
Something angered me this afternoon, so as quickly as I possibly could, I looked around and started listing blessings I've received this day. As I was identifying blessings, more blessings came my way, and it has continued all day. The "episode" which upset me lost a lot of its charge, and I'm confident that when and if I have to confront the situation, I will be able to do so from a place of peace, not from a place of turmoil.
Meanwhile, I came across these words from a student:

Gratitude prayer

I see them now.
Thank you.
