I hadn’t noticed it until today.
The automatic way
that my inner gears shift.
In the moment when
I feel hard done by,
suddenly I am grateful
for my health,
a hot cup of tea,
the shoes on my feet
my families, scattered as they are.
Gratitude has always there
but only today I knew
that it has become a reflex.
“For the things we have to learn before
we can do them, we learn by doing them.”
~ Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics
*Inspired by Essential Gratitude by Andrea Potos
