I am thankful for those moments when something simple and easy to miss becomes the star attraction. Those moments become precious gems as they ignite a spark within me.
It can be found in the gentle face of someone in a crowd, whose smile seems to turn up the light in the room. It's easy to spot when a burst of color is surrounded by a visual field of subdued hues...or in two fall leaves on an old cement wall of dead vines.
Nature provides many exquisite opportunities to marvel at the design and beauty in the background of our lives. The impact of a single leaf, an unusual cloud that only holds it's shape for minutes, the light streaming through the smoke of a campfire are examples of beauty waiting to be noticed.
One more thing: There is something quite beautiful in witnessing the kindness shown from one person to another. Whether it is directed towards you or not, it touches the heart.
I am grateful for all the beautiful moments I have managed to notice and I will continue to be on the lookout for simple beauty.
This is Day 8 of the Thirty Days of Gratitude.
