I guzzle gratitude
the only liquid

I love your line, “I guzzle gratitude.” I think I need to start guzzling instead of always sipping. I might “steal” this idea from you if you don’t mind. 🙂

So well said. Appreciation and gratitude are the thoughts I go to when darker thoughts threaten my mood. Always uplifting – and practically immediately.

You always do! The one who lights the candle is also blessed by its Light. (not sure how that works with flashlights – lol – so I am sending Light back your way). Have a wonderful weekend.
