As I crept down the stairs and across the floor this morning I noticed how quiet the floor was under my feet. Often times as houses age creaks develop in the floors or stairs as nails wiggle loose and slide up and down in the subfloor.
I never really paid attention before. The absence of something bothersome is usually unnoticed until it changes. Perhaps my awareness comes from all the work my parents are doing with their house right now but I am grateful for this awareness.
I'm grateful to have noticed the quiet floors. I'm grateful to know there is a solid base underneath the floor supporting me. I'm grateful to be able to move stealthily through the house while my family sleeps. I'm grateful to notice this gift as it occurs rather than in hindsight of something changing.
I'm grateful for the deeper symbolism I see in a solid, steady floor. I'm grateful to see how I want to feel mirrored in this observation. I'm grateful for the days that I feel a calm, well rested base to begin my day. I'm grateful to be working toward new ways to reach my goal of maintaining that solid, steady base for my spirit and wellbeing.
What is one thing going right that you may not have noticed yet? How many little blessings like this are happening all around that have gone overlooked?
May today bring us awareness to all the blessings "hidden" in our lives. May we seek out all that is right with our day and build from there. Have a beautiful day!
