30 days of gratitude: Day 3
simple pleasures, simple comforts
sometimes it is the
simplest things
that give the greatest
pleasure
like the steam rising
from a mug
of hot tea,
the way the heat
and the herbs
fill my body with peace
and healing
or the way a
white tank top
(one that fits just
right), an old pair
of jeans
and a few minutes
with a flat iron
can make me feel
pretty good about
myself after
three days of miserable flu.
gratitude doesn’t always
have to be about big things
a lot of the time
it’s the things that usually
pass unnoticed
that are most deserving
of being named.
so I count as a blessing
the tea
and the mug
and the shirt and the jeans
and all the other
priceless, ordinary moments
of this day.
Ah …lovely. I am going to join you in the 30 days of gratitude series. I just need a few more hours to patch a wound or two - then I am there.

I am enjoying hearing your voice… and love how you make me think about all I have to be grateful for, even when I can’t get the kids to school on time, cereal is spilled on the floor and the 3-year-old still isn’t convinced he needs to use the potty all the time…
