Ordinary Thankfulness

Some days are ordinary days.  Days where seemingly not much happens.  Phone calls are made and emails are sent.  Dinner is cooked and the domestic goddess duties are done.  At the end of the day life has been lived quietly with no muss or fuss and some tasks were accomplished.  Those days are grace.

Occasionally they come in a group, one following upon another.  Sometimes they just show up in the middle of mind boggling busyness.  Whenever they arrive, they are moments to take a deep breath and remember to say thank you to the Universe.  Thank you for the breathing space.  Thank you for the richness of our living. Thank you for the opportunities that come along and bring with them great joy.  Thank you for the tears that remind us we are human and capable of deep emotion.  Thank you ...... thank you.....thank you.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. Sometimes clouds are necessary so we appreciate the sun - (a takeoff on Camus, I think). Today in my world, it's sunny, so I'll appreciate it while I can. Thank you for the reminder to be grateful.
