"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude." Denis Waitley
Small Stones #27
What am I grateful for?
I started leaving bread out for the birds
It has been so cold...
I saw them yesterday gather for the food.
Some squirrels too.
I'm grateful for all life
One hand feeds another...
What are small stones?
According to the originators of this wonderful exercise, a small stone is a short piece of writing (prose or poetry) that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment. The process of discovering small stones is as important as the finished product. Searching for small stones will encourage you to keep all your senses; - your eyes,(and ears, nose, mouth, fingers, feelings and mind) open.

It's so easy to go through life ... expectant
Then when good things happen, claim the glory
It's not always easy to acknowledge the role others play
Especially those who help us succeed

will the circle be unbroken - gospel song in my brain background ...
I'm grateful for all the helping hands in the world... People helping people. :-)
Hopefully the circle will remain unbroken Frizztext! TY for your comment and I haven't forgotten you at all... Grateful! :-)

Oh, I just LOVE this quote! :) Thanks for sharing!
Being grateful even with the smallest details in life could lead us to bigger blessings. :-)
Almost everything in our life connects with somebody and being grateful to all things and even the smaller ones can make the world a better place to live with.
I have so many things to thank God for. The number 1 is His love for me that He gave His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to save a sinner like me.
I'm grateful for everything. :)
Love that quote. For me, I define that happiness comes from simple things. Small chat from a long lost friend, playing Bingo with family, stroll in the park, mini things like that. Happiness is like a circle noh? Just like the image you posted here.
TY Meikah! I love the quotes too and... stay hopeful.
Eliz
Michelle TY! I'm with you on that note too. :-)
Eliz
TY Daddy Y! I like that perspective on life. ;-)
Eliz
TY Mylene! Beautiful words and yes, I am grateful for the lord too. :-)
Ty January! Amen to that... :-)
Jhari TY! I agree, we can start being grateful for the small and the rest will follow. :-)
Eliz

Grateful for your visit ND Mitchell! TY! :-)
sometimes there are things around us that we often neglect and it was already late when we realized that these are the things that make us happy.

I'm also in the habit of leaving bread out for the birds. I used to get irritated by the squirrels, but now I leave some larger pieces for them, and everyone is happy! Thank you for sharing this with us. It's lovely. :-)
Dana
Whatever difficulties we have in life, we still have much to be thankful for. I'm grateful for my trials, it made me appreciate my life now.
TY Dana! I've had to do same for the squirrels as it didn't occur to me that they wold like some too. :-)
TY Jellybean! Love your response and makes me appreciative. :-)
