Lost and Finding Joy

I woke up this morning. You did too if you’re reading this. What a wonderful gift! It’s the gift of a brand new day. Am I grateful for this gift? Did I notice my husband laying next to me? Did I notice my two dogs in bed with us? Did I notice the air was cool from the electricity and air-conditioning in our home? Did I notice the comfortable bed, blankets and pillows? Did I notice the sun came up this morning? Did I notice the warmth outside? Did I notice the birds singing? Did I notice the blue sky, the green grass, the beautiful green leaves on the trees? Did I notice that I feel good and am healthy this morning? Did I notice the fresh air I am breathing? Did I notice I have loved ones who also woke up this morning who are healthy and strong? Before I remember all the things I should be doing, all the things I will be doing, all the things that I perceive to be right or wrong in the world…Did I notice? Yes. I noticed and I am grateful. My heart is full.
