You know how glitter is—it gets into everything. No matter how thoroughly you might vacuum, it still shows up with it’s tell-tale twinkle.
Sometimes, I feel like I’ve been sprinkled with Gratitude Glitter. Everything just has a sparkle! All it needs in order to be noticed is a tiny bit of light to catch it’s surface. It might only be a “what was that?” moment, but it’s been seen. That instant may just be enough to bring me into an awareness that all is well.
Other times, that Gratitude Glitter is a full-on dusting of joy in all I perceive, how I greet whatever situation I find myself in, and in how I interact with others. The glitter gets everywhere! Far from being an annoyance—something which needs to be but cannot be cleaned up—it invites me into the presence of Joy and Peace. It is Beauty. It is Wonder. It is Fun!
I entered this day with the practice of giving thanks. I then went to my spiritual community and was fed the substance of Joy. I am now continuing each moment with Gratitude. That gratitude gets into my aches and pains, my early rising, my driving, my interactions with fellow travelers on this Life Journey. It gets everywhere, just like glitter gets everywhere, and will shine for me in unexpected situations.
Today, I will do all I can to sprinkle a little Gratitude Glitter into all I do and say—and write!
