The Weekly Bleat: Acceptance and Gratitude

*Pictured are Clover and Hamish.  Two of the sweetest sheep ever! 🙂

Acrostic Poetry by Tonya R. Hengerer

“Acceptance”

Allowing

Circumstances or

Conditions to

Evolve with

Peace and patience in your heart,

Taking

An opportunity to

Notice how a little faith and gratitude

Can transform any unfavorable life

Event into something better.

“Gratitude”

Grace

Running

Abundantly

Through every moment and small

Instance,

Truly seeing and

Understanding the miracle of each

Day—-

Especially the challenging ones.

Much of my fortitude comes from these lovely surroundings. The farm animals as well as the mountains and meadows inspire a grateful heart.

  2. “Truly seeing the miracle in each day.” Beautifully stated, Tonya. The entire post was wonderful, especially considering the constraints of the piece. It flowed like words in a conversation – well done!
