Grateful

There are a great many things
that irk me.
Laziness, betrayal, stupidity, cruelty.
Things like that.
But . . .
when we focus on the things that irk,
we lose sight of the blessings,
the grandeur, the beauty, the gifts
in our lives.
I am grateful!
For the Ch-Angels around me,
who lift me up and love me.
For the special people
with hearts too big for words.
For the kind people
whose self indulgence is non-existent.
And for the irk!!!
The stars do not shine
without the dark of night!

I am Grateful!
Thank you.
