Little Blessings

Just as I posted yesterday about our Indian summer, I was secretly hoping for a cloudy day. And here it is, we have an overcast morning. My prayers have been answered. I fully expect the clouds to burn off in time, as they always do, but I am appreciative of the cloud cover for the time being.

Today's tea is dandelion leaf. Dandelion leaf is said to be good for healing, purification and defeating negativity. I certainly could use all three of those! Particularly the defeating of negativity. Don't ask me how it works, it just does. I believe it does, anyway.

I just wanted to meditate on the little blessings that God bestows on us each day, for us all. Today's blessing comes in the form of clouds, but it could be anything. Any little thing that winks at you during the day, saying "cheer up, God loves you." It could be a falling leaf, the smile of a child, a random act of kindness.

I don't have much to fill my days lately, since I am working on healing at home and no longer work outside the home. So for me, just this little blessing of clouds lifts my spirit. I don't have to far to go today, just to the corner store, and I hope to bring a smile to the face of the cashier with my presence. She often wears a frown.

We can each be a little blessing to someone today, just with our smile and presence. It doesn't have to take much.
