The second half of thirty days of gratitude got off to a frigid start here in Kentucky, but even an arctic blast could not put a freeze on the gratitude I felt throughout the day. Here are three of the things that warmed my heart:
Waking up to the first snowfall of the season. Usually, when our local meteorologists predict snow, they miss the mark, so, it was a pleasant surprise to wake up and discover that they were spot on with their forecast of snow this time. In addition to blanketing the landscape with a brilliant white cover, the snow also left behind a stillness and peace this morning. The entire world seemed to bow in quiet reverence to the snowfall, and I was grateful for this serene start to my day. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Getting a ride to work from my ex-husband. I had to take my car in for regular maintenance this morning, and I appreciated my ex-husband taking time out of his day to chauffeur me to work. Our marital status may have changed three years ago, but our love for each other remains intact. We are fortunate to have a healthy and happy relationship, despite the divorce, and I am forever grateful to him for being a phenomenal father to our two daughters and a true friend to me.
Sipping hot tea. I never have been a coffee drinker, and on a bitter cold and snowy day, I savored the warmth of the hot tea that I sipped during the day. There is something about hot tea that is so soothing and comforting, and it truly warms my body and baby soul with every cup. Drinking tea is an experience, not a mere act of quenching my thirst.
I have just seen on TV that snow has come to America. You are right. There is something special about the first snows. Everything is so fresh and clean. Keep warm. 😍
Sometimes, we may lose sight of all we have or not appreciate it, but there is always much for which to be grateful indeed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
True words. It is all perspective. We have too many mountains made out of mole hills that do not matter. Even hot tea on a cold day would be luxurious to some, as you know all to well with your clients. I am enjoying your thirty days of gratitude.
So glad that you continue to enjoy this series of posts and understand what I am attempting to convey! This daily practice of identifying three things to be grateful for has helped me to look for the good in the world, especially when things seem bleak.
