I Thank You

Practice silently repeating I thank You throughout your waking hours, and as you fall asleep and awaken. It really doesn’t matter whether you’re thanking God, Spirit, Allah, the Tao, Krishna, Buddha, the Source, or self, because all those names represent the great wisdom traditions. ~ Wayne Dyer, Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao

I thank you, God of my understanding, for the morning,
for a sound sleep, for that interlude between night and day.
For health, for toothpaste taste and fresh, clean teeth.
I thank you, God, for wet grass, a hose that works, birds and flowers and sun,
for the comfort of knowing breakfast, no decisions, routine, accustomed,
for the morning paper, plans for the day, a quiet time with you.
I thank you, God, for morning commute, familiar sights and sounds,
for folks at work who welcome me, a worthy job, people to serve,
for respect and camaraderie, simple tales, the lives of friends.
I thank you God, for people I love, those I would help, whenever, however.
For people who love me in that way, who support me, encourage me,
make me a better person. For your making me, crafting me, teaching me,
enabling me to find the best path for me, for showing me the next right step,
for using me for good.
