It's easy to look around,
And let yourself wallow in what you have not.
But darling, look at your own beautiful life,
Be grateful for what you have got!
When you truly begin,
To focus on the 'what is'
Petty minuses blur,
And you feel pure bliss.
Things you take for granted,
In your 'mundane life',
Is a mere farfetched dream,
For some, barely alive.
If you wake up in your cozy bed,
Well rested, healthy.
If you own even a modest wardrobe,
With clothes which to you may seem ordinary.
If you get to oblige,
The hunger and cravings of your belly.
If you have people to call your own,
And create a loving family.
If you have already nodded to the above,
Consider yourself blessed, honey.
You have one go at this magical life,
Give it your best shot.
Don't let comparison cloud reality,
Count your blessings with a grateful heart ♥️
- Nandita 💛
Happy 2023 to each of you! ☺️
