My inspiration today was my cat, he’s so laidback and calm. He inspires me to let go my fears.

I do like gratefulness but the understated kind not the gushy Pollyanna kind, the quiet contemplation. I can understand the fear of having something taken from you if you appreciate it too much. That’s a fear I used to have.
