Gratitude is an attitude
that encourages peace of mind.

The Wildcard Thursday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
"If I ruled the world, I'd __________..." Fill in the blank with some whats and whys.

If I ruled the world, I'd make it mandatory for everyone to list ten things they were thankful for once a week, and place it either in a gratitude journal or box. The reason for this is that we, as human beings, need to know what we are grateful for or we become complacent, bitter, and unhappy. Gratitude is a component of both contentment and happiness, so knowing and listing are weekly gratitude helps us to be happier or more contented people.

Hi, how's it going? Let's talk about what's happening in your neck of the woods.

Gratitude in My Neck of the Cactus

In my neck of the cactus
there is a chill in the air,
which makes me grateful for space heaters.

Las Vegas is in a desert,
so I am grateful for the imported palm
and olive trees that beautify my neighborhood.
