A hot shower on a cold morning would have made a medieval king jealous. You get one before breakfast.
GRATITUDE
GRATITUDE
Comfort that arrives on demand stops registering as comfort. Hot water at will was unavailable to almost everyone who has ever lived, and now it happens while you are half asleep and thinking about something else. Noticing is the only way to get any of the value back.
Stand in it for ten seconds tomorrow and feel it rather than running the day in your head. One noticed thing before breakfast changes the tone of a morning more than it should. Try the same with whatever else you have stopped registering: the coffee, the warm coat, the quiet before everyone wakes up.
Which of your daily comforts was once a rare luxury?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
