about

For me one of the keys to maintaining sobriety is gratitude. Gratitude connects me with my Higher Power. At the end of the day I make a list in my mind of all the things I‘m grateful for.

lyrics

(Written by John Dillon, ©2021 MotherDitch Music BMI)

Glowing embers soothe my soul
Calm within the storm
I’m thankful for this life I love
The hearth-fire keeps me warm
I close my eyes and go inside
Troubles fall away
It’s here I know that life is good 
No matter what you say

You say our world is dying now
Storms and fires brew 
Mother Earth is crying out
Her rescue overdue
Our country has a broken heart
I hope it's not too late 
It's up to us to do our part
Spread love instead of hate

So, I go within, I calm my mind         
Connect with Higher Source
Become the peace I want to find
That's how I change the course
Gratitude is what I feel
It brightens up my day     
Gratitude, it helps me heal
And takes my blues away

Walking on a North Woods trail
Far from human hands
It’s where all life makes perfect sense 
Reflects a higher plan
Mother Nature comforts me
When I'm feeling strange
It all comes down to thankfulness
The sunshine that sustains

I go within, I calm my mind         
Connect with Higher Source
Become the peace I want to find
That's how I change the course
Gratitude is what I feel
It brightens up my day     
Gratitude, it helps me heal
And takes my blues away
Gratitude, it keeps me warm, calm within the storm
