Day 14 - Gratitude Challenge 2021

The things that seem normal in our everyday routines are opportunities to turn our hearts to gratitude. From the moment I wake up until the time I go to bed, I'll be mindful as I go throughout my day. There are things I've become accustomed to that I rarely think about and they're somewhat, sometimes, taken for granted.

Today, I made a conscious effort to notice and remember to be thankful for those things. Today, I searched for God in the things that many of us consider mundane and simply expect them to be there. Today, I was grateful and thankful for: clean drinking water, toilet paper, inside plumbing, basic hygiene products, winter accessories (gloves, hat, scarf, socks), the option for pants, shoes, etc., etc., etc. The list can go on for a while. But, you get the point.

As I learn to shift from selfishness and indifference to gratitude, I am beginning to see everything differently.
