Glimmers and Gratitude
is anyone else feeling a bit down? Tiny pieces of gratitude might help
Maybe it’s the weather? It’s been dark and humid and rainy all week in Auckland.
Maybe it’s the time of year? It’s slowly getting colder, and the days shorter. Winter is the worst time of year for my mood and we’re hurtling towards it.
Maybe it’s the world. Bad news everywhere you look, infectious diseases, hate groups gaining traction, etc etc
But I’ve been in need of more comfort lately, and I’ve been wallowing in a little sadness and so on.
So when this little list of ‘glimmers’ showed up on my feed today it felt like exactly what I needed. Gratitude is a good practice for less stress and more contentment in life. So please share in the comments what your glimmers are at the moment!
here are some of mine:
reconnecting with a friend after many many months
candy squiggletops biscuits are back in the supermarket
playing with my formally stray cat and seeing her get to be a kitten, secure in her surroundings
getting a chore done that I’d been putting off for a few days
cute postcards arriving in the mail
hot bath and then bed
watching episodes of Bluey
Please comment with the little moments that have made you feel a glimmer of hope, gratitude, joy, security, anything good
