My previous post was about being thankful for each new day, from sunrise to sunset and every moment in between. To carry that one step further, today I want to express thanks for all of life's little details, those "moments between"...the things we don't see until we take the time to notice. Here are a few examples:
- Lying on your back watching the patterns and shapes in the clouds
- The smell of fresh cut hay
- Curling up with your cat on the couch
- The moment your favorite song comes on the radio
- A hawk floating on the spiraling air currents
- Butterflies on a purple coneflower
- Slipping between flannel sheets on the first cold night of winter
- The feel of warm sun on your skin
- A bright red cardinal against a backdrop of newly fallen snow
- The first hint of green on the willow trees
- Reading a favorite book with a child
- The smell of apple pie baking
- Your dog waiting at the door for you at the end of the work day
You get the idea.
Today I invite you to look around, stop and take notice, and be truly thankful for all of those little moments we too often take for granted.
