I’ve spoken to a lot of people who struggle with gratitude – how to feel it, how to express it, what to be grateful for, how to find it in just the ordinary. One of the things I’ve heard from people who have lost children or parents to death at an early age is that it’s not the big, grandiose things that they miss… it’s the little, ordinary nothings, the things that occur when you’re not really paying full attention, things that they do that seem totally insignificant.
