Sometimes I think that this blog is morphing into a gratitude blog. Oh, I’m not giving up on silence, solitude and simplicity, but it seems that those can best be attained when I live a life of gratitude. When I think gratitude I hear the music of silence, feel the calm of solitude, and experience simplicity in the midst of activity.
Here are my gratitudes from just this morning: the birth of a friend’s beautiful, healthy grandson, my favorite mittens found at the bottom of my recycle grocery bags, a good report from the dentist.
I know that I’m not offering anything new or profound here. I never do. But speaking out loud and sharing with others helps me on my journey, so I figure it may help you as well. Being grateful, seeing the cup half full, makes my life just that—a life overflowing with joy.
