The best I can do for a prayer sometimes is to set an intention to be grateful, aware and kind.  Starting the day with gratitude shifts my attitude for sure.  I love trees, glad I’m in a world with trees.  I love my car–love driving it no matter where.

I’m grateful that I’m aware of the Divine in everything, giggling at my stuffiness and crankiness while residing in this emerald earth.  Aware that I’m a putz sometimes, staring at my empty thimble in the midst of paradise.

Kind.  I want to be kind.  I don’t want to be a jerk or an asshole.  Done that, been there, it just leaves a rancid air trailing after me during the day.  And getting that smell out of the room just takes time.

So today I open up to be grateful, aware and kind.
