gratitude:: day 4 of 30

the turn

there is beauty everywhere - in the changing colors of the leaves, the white puffs of clouds, the crisp and brown leaves beneath my feet, the scent of change that blows in the wind. beauty surrounds us if only we open our eyes to see.

i am thankful for the eyes to see the beauty.

    So true, in so many ways. I love this sentiment, seeing outward and inward as well. And thank you for the beauty you capture through the lens, sharing the visions here with us.

    Even with my life being as it has, I am caught off guard some days when I come across something so beautiful ( it may be in my yard and I never noticed...or walking, whatever) and I still see so much beauty everywhere. I just wish it would stop raining so she can get outside and take some pics!!

    eyes are a good thing.

    this is inappropriate, but my car was just rear-ended by a guy that was wearing a patch and only had one functioning eye. i felt so bad for him, but he really should not be driving!

    I'm thankful for my eyesight, too. I'll be wearing reading glasses at work soon, but until then I have a pair waiting.

    I love your month of gratitude. I've been planning to do a series on gratitude this month, like I did last year. There is something so powerful in being grateful. I am really going to enjoy your month of gratitude.

    There really is so much beauty around us!! I am often thankful for this... many of my friends don't open their eyes to notice the beautiful world around them. Glad you do & that you share it with us!
