Sundays are for extricating myself from the normalcies of life and for using the shackle-free moments to show gratitude for the things I love. Recently, I started using a daily gratitude journal. Although some days it gets pushed aside, I realize the importance of doing the internal work to make sure that you stay grounded in peace and knowledge of who you are. Being thankful for what you have is a great way to set your mindset for being joyous in life.
I decided to write a poem to express some of the things I am grateful for.

I love granny pajamas because they are comfortable
I love a warm bubble bath with salt because it's wonderful
I love trying new recipes out because I love a good meal
I love wearing beautiful high-heeled shoes bcecause they have a sexy feel
I love conversations with people who know how to encourage
me
I love a good book by a great author because they seem to
inspire me
I love to write down words or phrases that seems like they
are out of this world
I love trying to do something fantastic with this head full
of 4C curls.
I love a good album to spin on my record player.
I love a song I can bop to that makes my spirit enliven my
dancer.
I love a blank canvas that I can draw on and then later fill
with metallics.
I love a vocal exercise that gives my voice improvement
I love listening to Sarah Vaughan and her wide vocal range
I love it when I can write in a book and fill up an entire page
I love the night, the sleep, the sheets, the room that I
sleep in
I love my family, my talents, the ability to use them and I smile with the biggest grin
I’m grateful for every limb, sense and leveling up opportunity I have been
blessed with
I am thankful for all the times God saved me when I had been
sick
And I can’t thank him enough for surrounding me with his
love every day
I am not perfect and yet, in spite of it all, God
loved me anyway
