EVERYDAY GRATEFULNESS

It’s the time of year to focus on gratitude.  It usually doesn’t occur to me to be grateful for the mundane, routine events of a day.  When I am ill, injured or have other interferences to my routine, only then do I usually miss the ordinary, humdrum day.  Then, I miss the ordinariness of taking a shower, fixing a meal, cleaning house, driving to work, doing paperwork… 
Today, my intention is to have a grateful heart for the simple everyday activities I take for granted.  I will acknowledge with appreciation the people who show up for me day in and day out.  I will recognize with awe the abundant gift that 'just another regular day' really is and remember the many people who would love to have this gift.  I want to remain aware of the extraordinary-ness of simple daily routine.  I give thanks for this day that holds out promise and possibility.
