a heart of gratitude--inspired writing Tuesdays

 


Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm doing something new on Tuesdays, starting today. I've been feeling inspired to write lately, so I want to start sharing some of that here. I hope you enjoy today's post, and the ones I have planned to come in the following weeks. Happy reading! Feel free to leave me your thoughts or suggestions at the end of today's post.

Lately I've been thinking about how easy it is to rush through life—chasing the next thing, fixing the last thing—and miss the soft miracles happening right in front of me. Gratitude slows me down. It's the deep breath before the coffee, the warmth of a hug that lingers, the sound of laughter drifting through a quiet room.


Gratitude isn't loud. It doesn't need grand gestures. It's found in the small ordinary moments that remind me that I'm alive and loved—the way sunlight spills across a floor, the familiar voice that feels like home, the peace that comes from knowing I've weathered storms and still found beauty.


This season, I'm learning that gratitude is not about what I have, but how I see. It's an openness—a soft place in the heart that says, "Thank you for this day, this breath, this love, this chance of a new beginning."

I hope you enjoyed this today, friends. Thanks for always being around to be my loudest cheerleaders. Your kindness and support means more to me than you'll ever know. I'm grateful for all of you! Love to all.

    1. Thank you for this, Maureen! I've been inspired to write again the last month or so, and I'm loving getting back to something I love.

  2. Beautiful words. I tend to get frustrated with my puppy and the state of the house around 4:30 when I am starting to think about making dinner. I need to be grateful at that time of day and see all the little things around me.
