G iving thanks is a calculated choice, not just a
R esponse to warm, fuzzy feelings,
A aroused by a serene environment and an inner personal peace. To be
T hankful involves the seat of your will, not just the seat of your pants,
I ntuition gained by work and intentionality,
T ested over time in murky waters when emotions and motives were impossible to
U nderstand, when it would be much easier to sulk and voice the
D readful, dark components than look for the silvery grains of gold that in
E ternity are the jewels that will last.
