🌾 The Quiet Gift of Noticing: Finding Gratitude in Small Moments

By: Christine L Panka Published on: 04/11/2025

Gratitude after loss doesn’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes, it begins in the quiet act of noticing — the warmth of a coffee mug, the glimmer of frost, or the simple rhythm of breath. In this gentle reflection, Life After Loss Coach Christine Panka shares how small moments of awareness can become the first steps toward healing. Rather than forcing gratitude, she invites readers to let it unfold naturally, one noticing at a time. Discover how presence itself can become a pathway back to peace — and how the Pathfinder and Inner Circle memberships within The Midlife Surprise Society can support your ongoing journey toward gratitude and growth.
