One aspect of the definition of gratitude is “pleasing to
the mind or senses; agreeable or welcome; refreshing.” It has been that aspect
that has inspired me to create the following list.
- A dive into cool waters on a hot day.
- A smile from a stranger that softens my face.
- A belly laugh from well-written dialogue on Castle or The Mentalist.
- An out-of-the-blue hug and “I love you” from a grandchild.
- The intoxicating scent of a rose.
- The hum of centeredness that resonates in every cell of the body.
- The pleasure of finding the answer to a query on the web.
- The “atta girl” self talk after a sweaty workout.
- The resonance at the sight of the crystal clear mystic mountain of Tahoma.
- The glow of recalling a sweet memory from childhood.
- The satisfaction of getting a sentence or a phrase just right and seeing that it expresses exactly what was meant for it to express.
- The joy that bubbles up and overflows during the entirety of a Messiah performance.
- The realization that a tough time was redemptive, and that its tempering pain has furthered transformation.
- The hope with witnessing a step forward in humanity’s consciousness.
- Love – that which binds everything. Love is the answer. Love is all.
What would you add to the list of gratitude?
