Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings. For today’s blog post, I will be sharing a poem about the importance of gratitude!
Gratitude is the Attitude
by Maranda Wabik
Gratitude is the Attitude
To live life by
Even our challenges bring knowledge
And knowledge is power
So I live my life feeling grateful for what I learn
Times of struggle and times of strife
Are a part of everyone’s life
But with the wisdom gained from experience
I can move forward to a time of greater joy
Just like the Wheel of Fortune of the Tarot teaches
I value the good times when they last
And I know that the challenging times will eventually be past
An endless reminder,
To have gratitude
An endless reminder,
That joy and pain are sides of the same coin
While at one point I can be
‘La Plus Heureuse’ ~ The Most Happy
In the next challenge may come
But, with gratitude, and the reminder
That all things occur in cycles
I learn from my challenges with wisdom and grace
Truly valuing the joyful times
For
Gratitude is the Attitude!

What a beautiful and uplifting poem, Maranda! Thank you so much for sharing this with us today.
You have perfectly captured the essence of what makes gratitude such a powerful and transformative practice. The metaphor of the “Wheel of Fortune” from the Tarot is so brilliantly used—it’s a gentle, wise reminder that life is a series of cycles, and that truly feeling the joy in the good times gives us the strength and perspective to navigate the challenging ones.
The line, “joy and pain are sides of the same coin,” is particularly profound. It’s a truth that can be so hard to remember in the moment, but your poem serves as that “endless reminder” to find the value and the lesson in every experience.
This is more than just a poem; it’s a philosophy for a resilient and joyful life. Your words are a wonderful inspiration to face each day, and each challenge, with wisdom and grace.
And you’re absolutely right: Gratitude is the Attitude!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so glad that my poem resonated with you. As always, thanks for reading and commenting!
