Speaking of gratitude, my toilet is broken.
It won’t stop running and YouTube wasn’t helping, so I’m manually opening and closing the stop valve after each use—which is now leaking when open—and my plumber won’t be here until Friday.
It’s incredible how much we can get used to modern miracles and how removed they can get from our consciousness day-in and day-out.
Like, I can’t tell you the last time I stopped and felt gratitude for having a working toilet.
Imagine how different the day might be if we were able to notice and actually appreciate even 10% of the modern miracles we’ve unknowingly been taking for granted?
…Imagine how different the day might be if that percent jumped to 20? Or 30?
Imagine if you replaced 10-30% of your anxious or worrisome thoughts with gratitude and presence instead…
Might be worth trying to do throughout this very day.
