Being grateful doesn’t have to be some grandiose thing. Examine little pleasures and let them land in your awareness.

Take a deeper plunge into your senses today. Note what you are seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, and smelling.

In just the past few hours I…

• Saw sunlight reflecting off a lake
• Felt my soft pillow and cool sheets against my skin
• Heard the sound of falling rain
• Tasted my favorite oatmeal on-the-run breakfast
• Smelled fresh coffee brewing

EXERCISE:

What are some of the little pleasures you experience throughout your day? How can you be even more present and grateful for the blessings we often overlook?
