Every Day

Every day, I remind myself of my good fortune:
I have my health and I have my job.
I have my friends and I wake up in the morning.
I have a place to stay, enough to eat, some time to play.
I have my family to love, and I have people who love me.

And then I add a short prayer:
To those suffering in the world, may their sufferings be eased.
To those who hunger and thirst, may their hunger be sated and their thirst be quenched.
To the world, stop the nonsense and let's live harmoniously.
To the planet, an apology: I will try to live greener.
To God (or Gods, as the case may be), forgive and forget what I did wrong, help me live right, and may the weather be exactly what it needs to be.

Just something that takes up 20 seconds a day.
