"A multitude of small delights constitutes happiness"
- Charles Baudelaire

The quote is from a free/no-ads Android app called Presently, that prompts me every day to briefly record one thing I am grateful for. Some of my entries are one word.

It's about 15 months of doing it so far. I have become a little happier in daily life than I was before I started. If you run out of ideas, you can get a short prompt. Very simple to use.

Tiny or big, one by one, these little grateful thoughts add up in me to a better overall feeling about my life.

Such a lovely thought @Mazarita 

I live my life looking for small beautiful ideas and events to stock my inner precious garden 

It is in the play of light and shadow the we find reality

@Mazarita Remembering to be grateful helps me reframe old events, and also communicate with more positivity, (I hope..lol) than otherwise possible.

Hi @HenryX, happy to hear you will give it a whirl.

Hi @Owlunar I love that idea of the play of light and shadow being the place to find reality. "Small beautiful ideas", yes.

Hi @Appleblossom lovely to hear you are in connection with gratitude as well.

Hey @HenryX  @Flying_Hams 

@Mazarita I particularly loved @Owlunar way of expressing herself too.

One way for me getting in touch with gratitude is allowing the "half smile" to rise up from my heart through my throat and into my face.  With it can come pleasant images or memories.
