What one word could I focus on this week that could help me show up more gratefully?

Life – life, all life is a gift and it is a gift that is eventually taken away, whether human, animal, plant or the planet its self, I am grateful to be here and conscious of this moment. I have grateful awareness for the people in my life right now, for the nature outside my window, things that will eventually no longer exist in their current forms. The beautiful roses my son-in-law gave me last week as a thank you are now starting to fade and I have spent time each day looking at them and appreciating them. There are spring flowers fading in the garden but new buds are coming into existence beside them and I take time each day to look, admire and appreciate and I do the same with my family and friends and my now elderly dog. Even if I am not with them, I take time to think about and feel grateful for family and friends past as well as present. Life, that word contains it all; love, beauty, joy, sadness, loss, birth, existence, awareness, creativity, being, death, and so much more than is possible to list or quantify.
