My August 2020 Gratitude List- It’s the Little Things

Enjoy the little things in life for one day you will realize they were the big things.

There are a few little things that I miss from before quarantine. They really do seem like the big things now. But I realize that they have been replaced with new little things!

My new little things:

• walking around the backyard to take a break from work and to enjoy the sun and fresh air.
• sitting with my feet in the pool and feeling the heat of the sun on my skin and face and the coolness of the water on my feet and legs.
• watching my son play on his scooter, penny board and skateboard or play with his little puppy.
• Listening to my son share stories or music from his favorite show or videos.
• Texting with my family and group texts with my friends.
• My morning coffee and my afternoon tea.
• Going swimming in the blistering heat.
• My puppy- He’s a little thing but he’s a big thing to be thankful for. Puppies are a lot of work, but I’ve always been thankful for having him in my life. I am even more thankful for him especially now since quarantine. He is a source of comfort and another being to nurture. I don’t know what I would do without him.
