I have been participating in a project that asks us to post on social media one thing per day that makes us happy … for 100 Days. It has been a remarkable process because participating in this project has illuminated all kinds of things and brought to my attention so many of the gifts and joys that are part of my usual comings and goings … but … that I would obliviously step right over in my day to day activities.
And because I am accountable to post it publicly each day, my mind and heart are now cued to be looking for the blessings that are before me. I was reminded yesterday morning of how much I enjoy my iTunes … with my unique playlists that I like to listen to as I get ready in the morning … and … that I had a can of evaporated milk in the cupboard when I ran out of fresh cream for my coffee … and … that old clients continue to seek me out … and … that my sister-in-law send a pic from her office window so I could see the intensity of red leaves that had not quite manifest by the time we left the East Coast … and … that I didn’t have to work outside in that horrific 130-150 km hour wind yesterday … and … that my little Square reader can now take debit cards … and … that I had some heartwarming conversations/connections over Facebook around another 100 Days post … and … and … and … and … and …….
Suffice to say … I absolutely LOVE the lens this project has offered me and the richness of experience that I am enjoying as a result. Gratitude really is like a flashlight … helping you see what was already there … giving you eyes to notice that which you might have otherwise missed.
May we remember to turn on the flashlights in our hearts and capture the gifts of each day with deepened awareness. ❤ Karen ❤
Live a Great Life Anyway ...
