Stopping to feel a moment of gratitude for the miracles in the community, can
be what you need to shift your day.
Most of us begin our days with a continuous list of things we need to do to
keep our lives running smoothly, but we rarely take time to note all the things
we don't need to do. For example, we don't need to figure out how to breathe.
We don't need to find a way to make sure the earth continues to revolve around
the sun. We don't need to concentrate to ensure that our heart beats and our
cells regenerate. All of these things, and many more, take care of themselves
without our having to think or do anything at all. This is the miracle of life
on earth.
When you wake up tomorrow, take time to notice how many things are running
smoothly, how many small miracles compose your day. As you take in your community, you
might feel a moment of gratitude for the basic fact that, once again, the sun
has risen to illuminate the abundant earth, and the earth's gravitational field
holds you and all that you hold dear in a tight, life-affirming embrace.
