A day of gratitude

This post is a video I've been wanting to do for some time. I have a playlist of videos that inspire me, and I love Will Darbyshire's style of storytelling, as well as this video from Jenn Im called 'In my Feelings.' Combine those two together with a hint of simply by christine, and you get this video - a short but simple compilation of the little things that remind us to be grateful for all we have each day. When we learn to be grateful, our days completely change don't they?

As November brings about the Thanksgiving season, it reminds us to be thankful for all we have. Yet it shouldn't take a holiday season to remind us to be thankful, as we have much to be grateful for every day. So here are a few things I've noticed throughout a single day that made things just a little bit better, as "gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings" (quote by William Arthur Ward). Keep your head up, and may this short and simple video help you realize that there is still good all around you.

Warm sheets on a cold morning

A fluffy friend ready to say hello

A new day which brings a clean slate

A slow morning with time for reading

The warmth of the sun on the cold ground

Signs of growth

The joy that comes with having a dog to pet

A cup of water to quench the thirst

The perfect bite of food

More belongings than I will ever need

A moment of quiet

A safe home

Fresh, clean air

The afternoon light

A quickly cleaned surface

A helping hand

The refreshing feeling of washing up
