It’s the little, itty bitty, teensy weensy things

Daily Meditation 1,073–2/12/2025

You flick a switch and 99,999 times out of 100,000 the lights come on.

You turn a knob and pretty much instantly there is hot, clean water pouring forth from your showerhead for very little money.

You climb in your car, twist your key and you can go anywhere in a day that’d’ve taken your great grandparents possibly a week.

OR you climb on a plane and can be anywhere on Earth in a day.

You’re hungry, so you go to a store to find cheap, clean tomatoes, bananas, blackberries, starfruit, coconuts, strawberries, passionfruit, potatoes — during any month of the year.

Or, you just call a pizza place and they bring you a pie in about 40 minutes.

You haven’t seen your mother in a couple months, so you FaceTime call her, where your ancestors, leaving Finland in 1885, never saw theirs’ again.

Wanting to learn more about any given subject, you pop online, buy a few e-books (for very little), and a few Udemy courses.

In closing — it’s the many little things we never consider which we should very often be most grateful for!
What are some more?
