Whew! The end of a grueling week! We’ve also reached the end of our tour of the photo art collection I shared for World Watercolor Month.
There is incredible truth in the quote paired with my 19th post (above):
The more grateful I am, the more beauty I see. –Mary Davis
Lately, I have been a bit more intentional about walking with gratitude. I have been amazed by how much beauty enters my space; my cameras are overflowing with so much of it that I will not be able to share all of it.
I am not only meeting beauty in the natural world but I am also discovering incredible beauty in my daily encounters with other humans. Even with difficult people, if I recast my gaze, I find the light and the splendor of their humanity.
Life can be hard and ugly at times, but there is still much for which to be grateful, much yet to celebrate. [Click an image to see posts 15-18; 20-21].
It’s odd. Some of these feel like old friends. And some feel like I am seeing them for the first time. A blessing in either case. 🙂

#Truth It’s very hard to find joy in the beauty around us when we are only focused on what is wrong, and those things that bring us negative thoughts and attitudes.
