Twelve Days of Thankfulness - Day 4: All of Life's "Moments Between"

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.
