Day 2: Thirty Days of Gratitude


The sky is cloudy today and the air is still.   It’s my kind of day.  It’s a day to curl up on the couch with a stack of magazines and circle everything you love in bright red.  It’s a day to put on the green knitted socks with pom poms that you only wear when it’s cold and watch a movie.   It’s a day of quiet.   Quiet is something that is on my list of favorite things.  It’s probably up in the top three and often ranks number one on a given day.  

Quiet.

Quiet.

The quiet allows my brain to breathe and my heart to beat in a soft pattern that soothes my spirit.  There are times in our lives when just “being” is what suits us most. If we ignore those calls to quiet, those invitations into “being” then we deny ourselves a gift.

Don’t deny yourself a chance to recharge with a cup of hot tea or to read an article in a magazine in the complete quiet.  Our bodies respond to quiet.  They know when we need to withdrawal into ourselves and relax.  Today I am grateful for the quiet; the quiet that fills my spirit with newness. I hope you will listen to your mind and body and if it’s asking for a quietness, then indulge and enjoy the silence.
