Gratitude
If you can calm your mind and focus your gaze from a higher perspective,
You can see and feel and hear and smell and taste and sense…the little things.
Like a moment’s snuggle with a toddler,
Or reading love in the eyes of an elderly sage.
You might pause to breathe deeply of the crisp November air,
And swing a bit longer watching the leaves float to the ground.
Savoring the delectable combination of flavors from a warm meal,
You optimize that specific moment in time.
Receiving, noticing, extending love,
You bring out your best as you relish in gratitude…
For the little things.
Worth Repeating
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.
-Cicero
