Gratitude

In trying to live a life devoid of as much pretense (and expense) as possible, I’ve found a new sort of gratitude unfolding within myself like the petals of a flower. From my days of past excess, I have come to a place where I now find gratitude for the smallest and insignificant[*] things.

(In) Significant (Or Perhaps Very Significant) Gratitude List. I am grateful for:

  • An apple that I forgot about
  • Organic shampoo and conditioner acquired for free with Optimum Points
  • Trading web site work for herbal tinctures
  • Being able to purchase bulk organic seeds to sprout
  • Plastic containers so that I can take a sprout breakfast to Bible Study
  • The selection of delicious fruit teas at our Wednesday morning studies
  • For the travel mug I use so that I will always have hot tea
  • When my partner takes me out for a bowl of $6 vegetable pho
  • Watching movies he has downloaded while holding his hand
  • Feeling the warmth of his body while he sleeps at night
  • LOVE

[*] – By perhaps popular opinion
