Attitude of Gratitude
I proudly wear a smile even though I have lost a few teeth
I am growing old gracefully and for this I am grateful.
A few grey hair pop in here and there
I am still alive and for this I am grateful.
Wrinkles, oh how they grin at me when I stare in the mirror
I still manage to take cute selfies and for this I am grateful.
I do not have all I want but I sure have all I need
I have never gone to bed hungry and for this I am grateful.
I have so much to be thankful for, complaining is not my style.
I have had many struggles but the good times outweigh the bad.
We often hear that attitude determines altitude; I have proven this to be true
Being grateful is helping me to live a fulfilled life.
