Question Everything's Thought of the Day, January 5, 2008

Today's Quote: "We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude." ~Cynthia Ozick

So often we get caught up in the habits of our lives and go about our day to day with little thought for the miracles that happen everywhere around us.

All goodness, all kindness, that manages to exist in this world is a miracle, straight away and simple.

It is easy to dismiss small things for being small - it is also easy not to notice the small things, sometimes. Being small makes them no less real, no less wonderful, no less miraculous. It makes us not less blessed for their presence in our lives.

Even large things, once they have become a habitual part of our day, can go unrecognized - we are so used to their presence that we do not note them, or at least do not express our appreciation.

Today's thought is to look out at the world with gratitude. There is so much in life for which to be thankful. Try to see those things, try to notice the little details instead of dismissing them.

Ah, *stretch*, a life of ease elludes me. I love people, music, reading, writing, football, and nature. I love to debate and can usually see both sides of any topic.   View profile
