Rep Power: 500 | | My Cup has Overflowed~On Being Grateful My Cup Has Overflowed
I Drink From My Saucer
I've never made a fortune,
and I'll never make one now,
But it really doesn't matter
'cause I'm happy anyhow.
As I go along my journey
I'm reaping better than I've sowed.
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
I don't have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough
But with kin and friends to love me
I think I'm rich enough.
I thank God for the blessings
That His mercy has bestowed.
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
He gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I'll not ask for other blessings for
I'm already blessed enough.
May we never be too busy
To help bear another load.
Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer
When our cups have overflowed.

Lately my words of gratitude have been feeling way too small to express how I am feeling. You hit the nail on the head!
Thank both you J's

I guess it depends on his level of gratitude and what that is made up of. If it is love from others, a place to be in life, happiness, then maybe so. If it is political, or based on something else, who knows?
I know I am grateful for all of you. Some days, I think I am not even walking but floating.
As usual, it is all a state of mind and what you place value on in life.
