What about gratitude for the little things? What about a smile, someone letting you go ahead of them at a stop sign, the wind in the trees, the moon rising, a hug, a beautiful flower, the line at the bank being short, having exact change, the wagging of a dog's tail, dew drops in leaves.For some reason when I look at this pumpkin, I feel gratitude.
Noticing opportunities to be grateful enriches life. What if wealth and richness were based on how grateful a person we are? There is such a satisfaction in gratitude.
Take on practicing little gratitudes. Like before a meal, pausing and feeling grateful for the food. Or saying thank you to the every day occurrences. As in, the light stayed green for me! "Thank you!". Feel the feelings of gratitude as much as you are aware throughout the day. Notice what sort of day you have.
