Day 6: The Invisible Hands.
Have you ever made a meal entirely on your own? It may seem like a strange question, but today’s Gratitude Seed invites you to look more closely at an ordinary daily activity and the countless invisible ways others help you accomplish it.

Great message today, Jeff! I am used to say thank you to the universe before starting to eat lunch, especially when I am sharing it. But I will now have to extend my thank you to so many invisible hands. And do the same with any action in life. Gratitude is blossoming!
I’m so happy to hear this, Marie-Claire. This seed open us to ways we might have been the charity of others that we indirectly benefit from. This is one of my favorite seeds. 🙂
This is interesting! Since yesterday’s challenge, one of the things I looked at was my meals. As someone who is a fast eater and find it difficult to slow down, it came to me to say grace before my meals. Since yesterday’s challenge I have been personalising one along the lines of today’s challenge. Thanks Jeff.
That’s lovely to hear, Jill. It’s remarkable when you actually give yourself to contemplate the long list of people who make of simple activities or items possible. In this seed, we consider the making of a meal. But an action ad simple as riding your back can quickly lead to a long list of unknown people to thank. 🙏
Thank you Jill for this comment. I am also a fast eater and I believe being thankful for all the invisible hands will be a tip to slow down.
Yes – so true – invisible Hands is a nice expression – I love the pictures with daisies – it is my favourite flower. Humble grows everywhere and looks like a smile from the divine. Thank you
So true! Everything we have was prepared by someone else. So grateful we don’t need to start from scratch for everything🙏🏻
Yes, it’s startling how much of our life is made simple and more enjoyable by people we never see and likely never will see. The meal is just one such example. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
