The poems in this beautiful book are based on gratitude, what I am grateful for, the simple basic things in life that we take for granted, our lives, our trials and tribulations, our blessings, which can make us stronger. I am also guilty of, as we go about our lives rushing around, we sometimes fail to acknowledge and take notice of the things and people in our lives, that really matter and find appreciation for them, we don’t slow down and take the time out we need to really notice and cherish the beauty that surrounds us and goes on around us, again I am guilty of such. The poems in this book are all about slowing down to recognise these things, being grateful and cherishing what and who we have, and to reflect on ourselves, going through bad and good times, embracing in each moment we are here, using the unique gift of gratitude to magnify our blessings, success doesn’t bring happiness but happiness does bring success, it’s in the little things that make the biggest difference, it’s not when we die, it’s how we live that’s important, we only live once, live each day as if it’s your last, have fun. Live, Laugh, & love.
