Appreciating the small things in life sounds like a good idea and it sounds simple. For me it requires training or awareness or something.
Yesterday, I took part in a wonderful inner child meditation led by Joe Vitale. There is something about the way children are able to be in awe or delighted by the small things.
And this morning, I feel delighted by my tea kettle/cup combo.
I am grateful for the ability to be delighted.
