"Feels Like" by Gracie Abrams listen here
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." ~ Melody Beattie 
"Hold On To The Light" by Jack Johnson & Hermanos Gutiérrez listen here
"I place on the altar of dawn / The quiet loyalty of breath / The tent of thought where I shelter / Waves of desire I am shore to / And all beauty drawn to the eye. / May my mind come alive today / To the invisible geography / That invites me to new frontiers / To break the dead shell of yesterdays / To risk being disturbed and changed. / May I have the courage today /  To live the life that I would love / To postpone my dream no longer / But do at last what I came here for / And waste my heart on fear no more." ~ Excerpt from 'A Morning Offering' from To Bless the Space Between Us by John O'Donohue
