Gratitude: Each Day, I am Grateful for Simple Things

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing, Spiritual Healing

Every day that we are here on earth, we can allow ourselves to be filled with wonder about everything around us. We can Gratitude for the Beauty of Flowers!feel intense gratitude at the sound of a child’s voice, the fragrance of flowers in the air, or the sight of dew-laden grass in the morning.

In a world stuffed with material goods, sometimes we might feel challenged to just feel grateful in our own space with our own possessions and the simple things in life. But we remind ourselves to look around and find what brings us feelings of joy and thankfulness.

When the tough days come along, we can choose to think of the smile on a friend’s face or notice the sound of the birds singing in the early evening. Our thoughts lead us back to feeling gratitude for these pure sources of light in our lives.

The simplest things can have the greatest value to us. The comfortable, old stuffed chair in the living room and a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning can remind us that we have so much to be thankful for. Each day the sun rises and we are here to see it. These are opportunities for us to feel gratitude!

Life gets pretty complicated sometimes. When it does, we opt to re-focus ourselves and acknowledge the contentment we find in simplicity. After a hard day’s work, we can indulge in a glass of iced tea, and sit down and relax. We can be grateful for these small moments.

Today, we allow ourselves to acknowledge all the wondrous yet simple things that surround us. We notice our children’s bright eyes, our spouse’s facial expressions, and the beauty of nature. We can allow ourselves to be grateful every day for simple, abundant things in our lives.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. Each day, do I take note of something I am grateful for?
  2. How can I ensure that I am spending a few minutes every day reflecting on the blessings in my life?
  3. At this very moment, what am I grateful for?
