There are so many moments, circumstances, events, situations, abilities, capacities, people and things that I mindlessly step over each day in pursuit of something else. I recognize that I do myself a grave disservice when I fail to claim the magic inherent in those moments. And … every time I pause … even briefly to let myself experience an iota of gratitude and appreciation, I can feel a shift in my whole system.
I am challenging myself to notice at least one thing each day that I have previously taken for granted. And so, right now as I write this, I have become aware that I have taken my literacy for granted. In this moment, I am savoring the fact that I can read and write. I am noticing how full my life is because of that ability. And then of course I must also give thanks for my eyes. And that brings me to the literary world … wouldn’t have much to be grateful for if there wasn’t a whole world of words to nourish my spirit and nurture my soul.
Yikes … it appears that one moment of being acutely aware of our blessings morphs itself into a vicious cycle of appreciation!! 🙂
May our days be filled with awareness of such sparks of delight, Karen
Live a Great Life Anyway ...
