Gratitude requires paying attention. Today, give thanks for the gift of senses and perceptions. Simply acknowledge the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and touch — as well as their connection to an active mind — that provide awareness. Appreciate the capacity to take notice.
            Also consider — for self or others — any changes in these physical senses or cognition. Extend a blessing for lives that include altered perceptions and functionality. Give thanks for minds and senses that function wholly or holistically, and also for how humans are able to adapt to altered ways of engaging, experiencing, and understanding the world. — Rev Gail

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.  — Psalm 139:14

Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference. ― Thomas Merton
