A Few of my Favorite Things

My list of 3 simple gratitude items this morning was watching my cat watch the birds from the window and the twitching of her tail, fuzzy warm blankets to keep my toes warm, and the smell of pumpkin pie baking in the oven.

I realize after making this list that the I think the true balance of finding and expressing gratitude is the realization that it does not have to be major or big things that are on the list. Of course those can and will be, but the key is learning to have and express gratitude for the small things.

I immediately thought of a classic song by Julie Andrews in the film “The Sound of Music”.
