Grateful for the Little Things That Kept Me Grounded 🌱 via /r/gratitude

Lately, I’ve been realizing how often I overlook the small, quiet things that bring me peace.

This week, I started keeping a simple gratitude journal—nothing fancy, just three things every evening. Some days it’s as small as a hot cup of tea or a smile from a stranger. Other days, it’s deeper—like a friend checking in when I needed it most, or that rare moment of silence between tasks that felt like a breath of fresh air.

I used to chase only the "big wins"—promotions, achievements, goals. But these tiny moments are teaching me something even more valuable: peace can live in the ordinary.

Just wanted to share this small realization and say thank you to this community. Reading your posts has helped me slow down and notice the beauty I was missing.

What’s one small thing that brought you joy today?
