I took a moment today to stop and admire this beauty. I've been learning lately to practice the art of gratefulness at the end of each day and have found it an amazing blessing. Instead of ending each day focusing on the issues and negative things happening, I'm ending each day focusing on the good stuff... even the little things like seeing a beautiful flower, being thankful for my family and friends or just life itself.

Perspective is everything, and developing a thankful heart despite your circumstances has a profound effect on your life, and those around you.
