A new year, a new devotion.

For many years now, I have recognized that life is to be spent living in gratitude for my many blessings.  A few years back, I spent a year in daily posts on Facebook, expressing my thanks: for inspirational lives well-lived, for inventions large and small, and for kindnesses, both personal and large-scale.

As we begin 2021, I knew it would be the ideal time to return to this journey.  Although I have never stopped being grateful—a nightly ritual I share with my sister Maureen, for example,  is to express three things each for which we are thankful—I have not put my thoughts in written form.  But I also know that the power of the written word is powerful.  Time to start again.

I'll try my best to make this a daily devotional.  From past experience, I know some days will be but a few words, others a barrage of thoughts and explanations.  Regardless, they will share the goal of expressing my appreciation for all the gifts that I receive.

May this journey inspire you to find the gratitude in your life as well.--AMK
