Gratitude is such a vital part of embracing simplicity...recognizing "enough"...and finding contentment. It is through gratitude that we can start to focus in on what we already have rather than being distracted by what we still want.
Gratitude is grounding + centering + allows us to be truly present. My faith paints that for which I am grateful as "gift". There is nothing I can do to earn a rainbow or a sunset or all that is encapsulated in a grapefruit. These are evidence of love.
It's not difficult to come up with an endless stream of gratitude once I get started. The light of the moon, the sound of laughter, a warm hug, seasons, excitement in the eyes of a daughter, a new leaf on a houseplant, friendship freely offered, drinking water, shadows, seeds, a warm shower...
I am here + there is good here.
Grateful for you too, friend,
Jane
