Grateful to be alive

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Today I woke up feeling grateful to be alive. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. My heart is beating on time. All positive signs of being in the land of the living.

Yesterday’s worries are no longer a burden. Today is a brand new start. Upon realizing this, I immediately began thanking the Creator. Thankful, indeed, for another day and opportunity to serve humanity and play my part in making a huge difference on this huge planet.

I’m under the impression everything starts with having a positive attitude and mindset. I also believe loving your neighbor as yourself is still the golden rule. If such a rule were applied globally, this world would be a far better place to wake up in.
