Today, I found myself thinking about the small things — the warmth of my morning tea, a kind message from a friend, the sound of laughter in the distance. None of it grand, but all of it meaningful.
Gratitude doesn’t always come from big moments. More often, it’s found in quiet details we overlook — the comfort of home, the softness of light, the people who quietly make our lives brighter.
The more we notice, the more life opens up. Gratitude has a way of turning the ordinary into something extraordinary — not because things change, but because we do.
Today, write down three small things you’re grateful for. Let them be simple, real, and close to your heart. Gratitude, after all, is the most timeless gift we can give ourselves.
