“Kindness is like snow. It beautifies everything it covers.”

Kahlil Gibran

So grateful for all the beauty around us in the previous week as we were treated to a nice, thick, white blanket of snow!

It’s truly nature’s way of surprising us with beauty, light, abundance and kindness when we least expect it. I had forgotten about this because it seems like ages since we’ve been so generously spoiled with snow covered landscapes.

Snow brings with it a kind of magic. It has the power to transport us back to the happiest and purest moments of our childhood in an instant. Those first snowflakes falling down carry with them feelings of hope and happiness. Honestly, don’t you secretly wish for a soft, white carpet to cover your lawn even as soon as the weather forecast announces “snow tonight”? I know I do!

It’s no wonder snow features in poetry, literature and all arts countless times and is described with attributes like freedom, beauty, purity, innocence and so on. The mysterious softness and mesmerizing beauty of fresh snowflakes has the potential to bring a warm glow to the coolest hearts.

I felt so grateful for the beauty of the white landscape around our house and the feelings of pure joy it triggers.

Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant

This image shows a field of flowers with a quote by Ann Voskamp: “Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant-a seed-this plants the giant miracle.”

This quote is a reminder that even in the smallest things, there is beauty to be found. The field of flowers in the image is a testament to this. Each flower is unique and beautiful in its own way, and together they create a stunning sight.

We often take the small things in life for granted. We forget to be grateful for the things that we have, and we focus on the things that we don’t have. But if we take a moment to appreciate the little things, we can find more joy and happiness in our lives.

The seed is a symbol of the power of gratitude. It is small and insignificant, but it has the potential to grow into something beautiful and miraculous. When we are grateful for the small things in our lives, we plant seeds of happiness and joy. These seeds can grow and blossom into something truly amazing.

Here are a few ways to practice gratitude for the seemingly insignificant:

* Take a moment each day to appreciate something small, such as a beautiful sunset, a delicious meal, or a kind word from a friend.
* Keep a gratitude journal and write down one thing that you are grateful for each day.
* Tell the people in your life how much you appreciate them.
* Do something kind for someone else, even if it is something small.

When you practice gratitude, you are opening yourself up to more joy and happiness in your life. You are also planting seeds that can grow into something truly amazing.

So next time you see a field of flowers, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of each individual flower. And remember that even in the smallest things, there is gratitude to be found.
