Noticeable

Today I am grateful for the soothing sounds of a ticking clock and the keyboard letters beneath 

my fingers as I tap. 

Living gratefully is really as simple as pausing and noticing.

Here are a few things I noticed on my brief walk with our dog Oliver this morning:

*The mild December air

*How that air smelled. Fresh doesn't quite capture it.

*The lack of traffic. Recent months have had less people heading to work, etc.

*Bright and cheerful holiday lights in our neighborhood.

Plenty is noticeable each moment. The moment simply needs us to pay attention. 

What is noticeable to you as you pause with kind attention?
