Glad to breathe another day, I praise Righteous God who chose to grant me life And blessings far beyond what I deserve. Thrilled to have my family and friends, Each day I thank the Giver of all that’s good.* Future plans for my soul are complete. Until Heaven is my home, I will bask in the Love of God, whose Word is a “light unto my path.”** James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from . . . the Father of lights . . . . *Psalm 119:105: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your thank-filled muse. Your opening and concluding lines delighted me: "Glad to breathe another day, I praise... Love of God, whose Word is a “light unto my path." God bless you.

One thing I like about Hawai'i, is that the people are not shy about saying, "Mahalo!" (Thank you) which one rarely hears on the mainland, although they have much to be thankful for! Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico

Thanks so much, Rico. My experience is different from yours. I hear people say "Thank you" daily. Janice
