For a long time I kept a gratitude journal. Just a list of five things I was thankful for each day. Sometimes it was something wonderful that had happened. And sometimes it might simply be the smell of bacon frying. Or clean socks. I did try to be specific. I don't write them down anymore. But doing so for many months made me aware all the good things around me. Even the little ones. Even on days when I have to look a little harder to find them. Especially on those days.
Since it's Sunday, I thought I'd list a few of the things I am thankful for today.
Flowers that bloom in my yard--without help from me.
Finished my knitting project.
Worship with wonderful music this morning.
Lunch and laughter with a friend, Mommy and Baby Sister.
And there's no photo for the last thing on my list...
a long afternoon nap.
Today it was easy to list things I'm grateful for. Sometimes I have to look a little harder. The blessings are there. They are always there.
