In spite of the negative circumstances you may be dealing with, find little moments throughout the day to notice the things that, under ordinary circumstances, give you pleasure. For example, take time to appreciate the view of the neighbor’s yellow roses that have just burst into bloom, the taste of a perfectly ripe sweet apple, the sound of classical music as the CD plays on your laptop, the painting you bought in Paris that hangs in your office, the feel of your favorite loafers, or the warmth and smallness of your child’s hand in yours. Savor the gifts of sight, sense, taste, touch, and smell. They are working even as you deal with crisis. Take comfort in simply noticing the blessings in the small things and short moments throughout the day.
