Be grateful for life

Be thankful for the beautiful, sunny days. Sometimes it seems like the sun takes a long time to rise, but eventually it does...
Nothing extraordinary has to happen; simply paying attention to the moments of calm and tranquility is enough to connect with the essence of life.

I had the flu for a couple of days, so going outside did me good; it was like opening the windows to my mind and letting in some fresh air. As everything passes, and sometimes more quickly than we'd like, the sun went down and the night turned cold, so I couldn't stay outside much longer. But the time I was there, just appreciating and feeling, I enjoyed it. And these little photos of that moment remain.
