It's easy to rush past the small things that make life tender. Gratitude doesn't have to be grand to be powerful. Simply slowing down to anchor into a few small sources of gratitude each day can have a profound impact. Take a deep breath in through the nose and let it go slowly through the mouth, Breathing in through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Now, Bring to mind one small thing you are grateful for in this very moment. It could be the ground beneath you, The breath moving through you, Or a kindness you received. Notice how it feels to lean into this warmth, This feeling of gratitude. Carry this sense of gratitude with you into the rest of your day and know that you can return to this gratitude practice whenever you need to.

Thank you.
My brother despite his rage against me, without explanation, gets me orange juice with pulp for my breakfast. Why?! It’s palpable his venom against me, but he refuses to tell me what I did. For a “Department of Education, Communications emphasis Ph.D.,” I think he’s failed.
But, there it stands my glass of orange juice on the nook table next to the kitchen. Juxtaposed against his hostility is totally confusing.
So I’m grateful for the orange juice, for his efforts, and perhaps for this new day and opportunity that I’ll learn what I did wrong that I might be able to fix or apologize for or maybe just improve.
Thank you for another day which I was debating whether I wanted to participate with or just quit this charade.

Blessings to all on this journey.
Warmly,
Anne

Thank you for a great way to begin this grey day, To focus on things we are grateful for.
