What’s Your Current “Gratitude” Prompt?

A gift that can come with vacation,
Is feeling a heightened sensation,
Of what is around.
The beauty that’s found
In gently observing creation.

What’s your current “gratitude” prompt?

Sitting on the screened porch,
I was so aware of comfort.

My own internal quietness
Gently nurturing the moment.

Probably its heightened by
Being in vacation place whe​re
Weather is warm & there are
Leaves, flowers, soft air.

Plus looking at a different scene.
Things retain their clearness,
Which I can let fade with familiarity.

This deep level of gratitude,
Which I’ve heard called “granular gratitude”,
Is the gift I’m holding close.

The gift I’m hoping to keep
With appreciation.

Good to hear that all is well after a bit of an awakening! I look forward to hearing about Sanibel. Thanks for looking after my plants!
