New Kind of Gratitude

This upside down way of life and of being grateful is exactly where I want to live. Will you join me there? It is the place and the space where everything belongs.

I’ve always been thankful for coffee and friends

For laughter and love and seeing my team win

I’ve always been thankful for dreams that come true

But sometimes that’s not what dreams do

My life was taken for a ride, but I’m not taken

I’ve been a little shook up, but I’m not shaken

I’m not broken even though I have felt things break

Dreams may be shattered but they weren’t a mistake

I’m living

I’m living

I’m alive

I’m living

I’m living in a new kind of gratitude

A new kind of gratitude

Thankful for sorrow and dark rainy days

Thankful that black and white has merged into gray

Thankful for faith that runs deep

Beyond what I see

That the world doesn’t revolve around me

Thankful I have scars and I’m still complete

I’m living in a new kind of gratitude

A new kind of gratitude

Thankful I still have a heart that can mend

Thankful that what ends gives a chance to begin

Thankful that life sometimes doesn’t make sense

Thankful that I don’t fit in

I’m living in a new kind of gratitude

A new kind of gratitude

Thankful for what I don’t know

Thankful for sorrow

And the hope of tomorrow
