unknown early flower I saw on an afternoon neighborhood walk
“Some people want to feel happiness that’s too big,” Takei Moore said. “But for me, every day, I just look for something small.”
This is from a NYT article about cooking with a traditional Japanese clay pot, called a donabe.
There's so much research about the benefits of being grateful. It's hard to find a daily planner with day spreads that don't begin with three lines for recording what you're grateful for.
But maybe there should be some instructions to get the best benefit from being grateful: be grateful for small things.
Or, to be specific to the quotation, find one small thing per day... and be grateful.
Master Eckhardt: "If the only prayer you only said was thank you, that would suffice."
