Just wanted to say on this beautiful Spring day here in Melbourne Australia, what a wonderful life we have, even though we are unwell most of the time!

Seeing the beauty around lifts our vision and our hearts joy to appreciating all that we have been given!

Blessings to all - whether it is Spring or Autumn.

it's nice to be thankful and enjoy the beauty of nature.
I always feel more connected to a higher power when i'm in a place of beauty especially nature.

It's hard though to see it and not be able to really appreciate because of pounding pain.
It's also hard to see life pass by without being an acting member of it.

I wish i can get to a point where i can meditate myself out of the pain and be more thankful.

I know what you mean Nielk, I do know what you mean.

Still, I'm thankful for those who remind us of what beauty there is to be appreciated on days when it's hard to find anything on my own.

Thanks, Francelle for sharing your Spring exuberance! I needed a dose. Keep it comin'

Yeah, I went out yesterday to buy some food and it's wintertime here with thick snow and crispy air and ooh so beautiful. I actually felt content and happy for a big part of the day. :)
