It's so easy to forget how good we have it, and to focus on the negative in our lives. Our brains are wired that way – it's called the negativity bias. But when we take a moment to be still, to observe, to listen, to reflect, we realize how much there is to be grateful for. Even in the simplest things: Clean water running through the faucet, a smile from someone we love, or even being able to breathe deeply.
You don't have to go through a life-changing event or experience a grand gesture to have gratitude. It can be found in quiet and ordinary moments that often go unnoticed.
Today, I'm choosing to notice. I'm grateful for all the small things that make this life beautiful, even amidst its chaos.
