Just simply so grateful.
Grateful for this sea and this little town and Italy and this life and these people and this food and this miracle that is the present moment.
Not sure how to articulate this- so here goes, there is a lot of very heavy things happening in the world right now. There are days when we all feel helpless, yet hopefully there are also days where we feel joyful. It can be hard to stay genuinely optimistic without falling into a rabbit hole of doubt and concern and fear. It’s hard to acknowledge the suffering in the world while simultaneously acknowledging the immense amount of love. So, what if we try this? Bring your attention back to the present moment and acknowledge your own magnificence. Acknowledge your blessings. Find something beautiful to focus on in the now, just for a second.
When I was a kid, my parents made me tell them 3 things I was grateful for every night before I went to bed. I invite you to add this tiny exercise into your daily life. That’s all I have for now. With so much love
