Day 2: The Basics

Day 2: Back to Basics

Day two. Today we go back to basics.

Some mornings I’m grouchy. I’m tired. I stare at a blank page thinking I’ve got nothing. That’s when I go to the basics. That my legs move, my eyes see, that I have a nice hot cup of coffee, running water, a roof over my head, healthy children.

It’s your turn. Five things from the basics. Your body, your senses, your home. The things so easy to take for granted that you might have stopped noticing.

Now, here’s a question I use. If I suddenly lost my ability to walk or see or hear, what would I give to get that back? That question changes the page fast. Before you know it, you’ll have way more than five gratitudes on your list.

If you stall, the thought starters are in the front of your workbook. Just five minutes. Go ahead. See what you can write down.
