Each day I need to take a minute.
To be thankful for the good things.
Look at the positives, cherish the memories made.
Look forward to moments yet to come.
Each day I need to take a minute.
To be thankful for the bad,
The negatives I’ll try to shake off.
Things sent to make me stronger
To forget about past mistakes. To forgive.
Each day I need to take a minute.
To be thankful for those I have in my life,
those I love, those who make me strive to be a better person.
Those who are my heart and soul.
To count my blessings.
Each day I need to take a minute.
To be thankful I’m alive,
That my friends and family are healthy (touch wood)
Be in awe of the baby and how far he’s come.
That on the whole I’m happy and my battles are small.
Each day is a celebration.
A celebration of life and living, of being alive.
Of getting through yesterday,
Of believing in tomorrow,
Of making today the best it can be.
Each day I need to take a minute
and be thankful for the celebration.
Beautiful Becky – so hard to do sometimes isn’t it? A lovely reminder, thank you x
It is so hard to do, I have been thinking about celebrating each day a lot more since the baby arrived, his start to life wasn’t easy and I am thankful we have him in our lives. Even on really grumpy days I need to remember how lucky we are xx
Definitely something we should all do more of. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I’m guilty of forgetting, hopefully this will remind me x
Awww what a lovely positive poem! Me personally have to admit that I always forget to say thanks for the day. For simply having the chance to have them. Thanks for sharing =)

I’m the same, we get so bogged down with the negatives we all just need to take a minute to see the positives. I’m guilty sometimes but we are lucky, some people don’t get to see the day through xx
Lovely, I especially like the lines ‘Of getting through yesterday,Of believing in tomorrow, Of making today the best it can be.’ Something we should all try to do. Thank you so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x
Thank you. We should all try to make the best of the day, although I know it’s not always easy xx
What a gorgeous poem, and a reminder to us all that every day is worth celebrating. Thank you! #ThePrompt

This is beautiful Bec. Most definitely words that we need to live by. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo x
Thank you, just need to remember to live by them myself now x
Couldn’t agree more, every day is a celebration. There is always something, however tiny, to be thankful for every day. Beautiful x #ThePrompt
Thank you Leigh, it’s not always obvious but the chance for tiny celebration is almost always there x
What lovely words and the perfect excuses for a celebration – a great way to look at things.
