Gratitude –
Piglet noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.
A.A. Milne

Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
Aesop

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
G.K. Chesterton
How does one sum up gratitude in two quotes? Well, as you can clearly see, I didn’t. I searched and searched for just the right words to say what I felt to be true. I searched and searched for just the right photo. Time and again I found myself back where I began. Quotes about gratitude often end in love. Images that inspire gratitude are of things I love. It would do me no good to try and separate the two. They are as intricately woven together as is the most delicate lace.
I love the way…is where my writing so often begins. It is my heart’s gratitude for the everyday things and the ways of them.
I love..
..the way the breeze picks up the edges of the sheets that are hung on the clothesline to dry
..the way hummingbirds hover in sweet greeting making me feel a part of their tiny world
..the way calves are insatiably curious and begin to follow me
..the way flowers bloom..enough said
..the way autumn colors light everything in a spectacular sunset that lasts beyond nightfall
..the way Dobby looks at me with soulful eyes and waggles his short tail
..the way a crockpot does all the cooking for me on a long day
..the way a song catches in your center and won’t let go and you’re glad for it to be there
..the way Jack reminds me of a muppet
..the way pizza can have any topping you like
..the way the first cool morning after a hot summer excites like love’s first kiss
..the way Bo adores the porch but thinks the yard is made of lava
..the way children giggle..at almost anything
..the way cookies go well with cold milk or hot tea or…come to think of it, cookies go well with everything
..the way clouds make movies in the sky
..the way Ellie snuggles just because
..the way friends encourage each other
..the way a grateful heart makes us mindful of the needs of others
Gratitude is not a thing. It is a way of being. Gratitude is the way you love everything around you…and then it is the way that everything around you loves you back…
Thank you kindly for reading and for being a beautiful part of my days,
Suzanne❤️
