Luxuriating in The Simple Pleasures

Some days it is hard to muster some practical optimism and feelings of appreciation.When that occurs remember that nourishing ideas are one great way to kickstart your positive imagination and recognize that there is beauty and joy around us if we intentionally look for it. 




When I allow the simple pleasures of a majestic, blue sky dotted with clouds, hanging over the fascinating insects and birds, who pollinate the sweet and vibrant flowers, who ask for nothing more than a bit of clean rain, fresh air, I experience an enriching sense of peace and abundance. It is in those moments I can stop and quietly acknowledge myself and others. When we stop to appreciate the everyday small blessings, the big ones become clearer in our imagination. What if you began each day by affirming what good you already have? For example, …




“Thank you today,for a warm bed, soft pillow, fresh water, fresh air, clean food, loved ones and community. May all living beings awaken today to experience the respect of being recognized for the unique and amazing presence they are, as we each strengthen the fabric of human goodwill through our daily choices and lives.”

 

Once we imagine it, we can begin to create it.

 

Feel free to change the affirmation to make it your own.
