I'll admit it from the get-go....I am a glass "full" kind of person. Sure I have my share of heartache and sadness, but I am always hopeful of better things just around the corner.
I am spending time today catching up on my paperwork (never ending!) and opened a drawer and found... an unopened bag of dark chocolate M & M's. They were a nice surprise!
Then I remembered yesterday evening as I was sitting on the patio and the sky was all pink and yellow - almost sepia toned (probably pollution but who cares?). My Mom used to call that "the gloaming", and it was a beautiful sight!
Earlier this morning
, I found both of my Beagles AND the cat lying at the food of my bed sound asleep, all lined up like sausages with their sides touching. My kitty was in the middle and it brought a smile to my face.
I had to make a quick trip to my office this morning and when I started up the car I noticed that someone (my husband) had filled up my gas tank. It was almost empty yesterday and I did not ask him to do that. What a great way to start the day!
I've learned through the years that if I just stay mindful and "in the moment", life provides lots of small pleasures each day that serve to fill that glass to the rim.
Look around you and pay attention. What are some of your small but important daily pleasures?
