The Day’s Gifts
Each day provides its own gifts. – American Proverb
It’s not the big things that make our day, but the little ones that pop in our lives all the time. Those are the gifts that enrich our existence and make us want to live another day.
The call from a friend at just the right moment. A smile made between strangers. Someone letting you turn at a busy intersection. The smell of freshly mowed grass. The aroma of a fresh pot of coffee in the morning.
The sound of waves pounding the shore. The wind blowing through the trees. Listening to your favorite song. Getting a little dance in when no one is looking.
Experiencing the unconditional love that only a dog can give. Holding hands for no reason. Reaching a solution to a problem. Flying a kite.
Getting a massage. Taking a long, hot shower. Driving on a country road. Reading a good book by the fireplace. Eating your favorite dessert. Watching fireworks.
Sleeping 30 minutes longer. Staying in your pajamas all day. Playing music with a friend. Enjoying your hobby or hobbies.
Cooking and then eating a wonderful dinner. Getting an unexpected hug.
Hanging out with the family. Going on an adventure within walking distance of your house. Watching your favorite movie.
Try to notice the small gifts throughout your day. It might surprise you how many there are.
Have a great day!
Michael
