I almost missed the small joys until I started noticing them every morning. via /r/gratitude

For a long time, I focused on what was missing in my life… deadlines, responsibilities, worries, and regrets. I didn’t notice the little things: the sun on my face, the warmth of my morning coffee, or a friend’s text that made me smile.

Then one morning, I tried something simple: I listed three small things I felt grateful for before I even got out of bed. It could be anything… a bird singing, a hot shower, a quiet moment.

It changed my perspective. My mind started noticing more blessings throughout the day. What felt ordinary became extraordinary. My mornings felt lighter, my heart softer, and I began carrying gratitude into everything I did.

What are three small things you’re grateful for today? Even the tiniest moments count. 🌿

Gratitude isn’t about big gestures. It’s about noticing the little threads that quietly weave joy into your life.
