When things are a regular occurrence in our lives, we sometimes forget to be grateful for them. I have a daily ritual of reciting three things I am thankful for each day. It keeps me in a positive mindset and helps me to give love and peace to those in my life.
As I took a break from some of my regular activities of teaching yoga, teaching school, working out, practicing yoga, etc. I look at it now as I return to my schedule and am grateful for the students in yoga and at school and all they brought to my life. I have missed the pieces of knowledge they brought into my heart each day. I am grateful for the ability to move my body and experience it as it slowly finds its old range of motion and the spirit once again searches for peace.
It is easy to remember to be grateful for the big things in life, for material things and for irregular occurrences in life, but to remember to be grateful for the everyday people and the regular routine happenings is truly where grace and happiness begin.
