In the midst of life’s overwhelm, I had to learn to notice and cherish tiny joys to find my center again. This poem is my gentle reminder, and maybe yours too that Tiny Joys can create Big Shifts in our hearts, one blessing at a time.
In the midst of my uncertainty, I fought and struggled
Heart and soul to keep afloat while mourning my “used to”
I clung to the life that was no longer, and I juggled
Too many pieces to sadly fit an imaginary void, too
For my life was already overflowing with quiet blessings
I had everything I needed, yet I was deaf and blind
Blind to the beauty around, caught in endless guessings
All I needed was to be open-minded and to myself, kind
They say pause to smell the roses, I needed to be still
To listen to my inner voice, to soak in the quietness
To be consumed by peace, joy, and warmth in the chill
To navigate the currents with grace and liveness
At the curve of my children’s smiles, my heart melted
Each hug offered me a world for release and replenishment
With a walk under the rain or barefoot, worries quelled
Routines became a new world of joy and nourishment
The small things are not small, for they moved mountains
Breathing the same air, yet my lungs are full and light
Eating the same food, yet flavors are flowing like fountains
Joy doesn’t always shout; sometimes it whispers with delight
Let the tiny joys and changes take their course, and be ready
To enjoy the big shifts of happiness, peace, and be moved
Let the whispers guide you to notice the wonders of your journey
Bask in your blessings, for you are beautifully made and loved
With warmth,

Hi Beth, thank you for your kind words and being here!
I love this poem! I would have to agree; I had to learn to enjoy the tiny joys also and the Blessings that follow were peaceful and much more rewarding. Lord Yes, bask in the blessings and enjoy every moment is what we all should be doing.
Hi LisaLisa,
Thank you 🤍. Yes, learning to cherish the small joys makes the blessings that follow feel even more sacred and rewarding.
So beautifully written, each word, each sentence really captures the sentiments. A mothers love is forever .
Hi Nayna,
That means a lot. A mother’s love is forever and writing this came straight from that place.
This is something I can relate to. It is the small things, the little moments with our kids and other things that have so much value. It is good to think about what it important in life and be grateful for those.
Hi Marysa,
Thank you for sharing. The little moments are everything, and gratitude helps us hold onto them.
Hey Jasleyv, this poem is so beautiful and meaningful. I couldn’t agree more about the importance of little joys for happiness.
Hi Alejandra,
I truly appreciate that. Noticing little joys is something very close to my heart, and I’m happy it spoke to you.
That is such a beautifully written poem. We don’t always think, but sometimes things perceived as little can have the greatest impact on us.
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it’s a reminder that happiness isn’t loud or grand, but often quiet and close to us.
This post is such a gentle, grounding reminder of how powerful small moments really are. I love how you frame everyday blessings as quiet shifts that slowly reshape our hearts and perspectives, it feels both honest and deeply encouraging. Reading this made me pause and reflect, which is exactly what meaningful writing should do.
Hi Jerry,
Thank you so much for this thoughtful reflection. I’m really glad the piece created a pause for you; that quiet moment of reflection is exactly what I hoped it would offer.
Beautifully written. And that flower makes me already wish it was spring again. The winter weather in just a month as been too cold for me this year.
Hi Barbie R,
Thank you. May little joys keep the feeling of spring always close, even in winter.

Hi SiennyLovesDrawing,
Thank you. Treasuring little moments has a way of reshaping how we see and value our everyday lives.
This reflection on noticing tiny joys really resonated, especially the quiet morning moments you described. It’s such a gentle reminder that small shifts can slowly change everything. As a mum, I’m learning how powerful gratitude can be on ordinary, slightly messy days. Your writing feels comforting and grounding.
Hi Sonia,
Thank you for sharing this. Those small, quiet moments often carry more power than we expect. I’m grateful the reflection connected with you.
It’s the holiday seasons and give thanks, turning gratitude into a daily habit really resonated with me

During the holiday season, gratitude feels even more powerful, especially when we carry it into everyday life. I’m glad this resonated with you.
