It’s easiest to start the long list of things that merit our gratitude with the big things: health, family, community and such. But there are so many very small things to be grateful for: seeds and bees and the time your child did the dishes without even being asked.
What small things are you grateful for?
Well. some of the little things I like: the flavor of my toothpaste; the colors of the fall leaves; seeing each new pattern of snowfall because I know each is unique; likewise with each snowflake; the smile on a toddler’s face; eating dandelion greens cooked the Pennsylvania Dutch style; listening to Ode to Joy (this is a pretty big “little”); phrasing a piece of music on the piano just the right way that satisfies me; feeling that a painting that I have done is still just the way I want it to be; remembering my parents’ gifts of life that they left me.That’s enough for now! Happy Days!
