The amazing thing about those photos of Scotland was – no filter – no colour enhancement – that’s how beautiful it is!

Marvelous words and great concept! Gratitude is one of the best ways to get out of a funk for sure! And I never knew where “tweed” got it’s name, though I learned about it at an early age because my mother was a home economics teacher who taught me to sew.
Gorgeous scenery. Someday….

Thank you Barbara – I was sorry to see you go yesterday and was in a blue funk this morning. Then I read the article ‘by chance’ and suddenly felt better!!!!!

Thank you for re-posting this. I remember reading it the first time in October, 2015. I was days away from flying to Sicily to join you for a 10-day tour. Your thoughtful post about gratitude was additional evidence that I made the right decision in signing up for the trip. And here we are, two and a half years and many fond memories later… I’m so grateful for you, Janet!

Beautiful, Janet! I have discovered this practice within the last couple of yrs and it is magical. It takes discipline to retrain the brain and do this daily, but if you believe and practice, the results for well being for you and those around you are remarkable. Grateful for your beautiful post. As always, I so enjoy reading your blog.

In reply to Lyn.

Good Morning Lyn – thank you so much for your thoughtful response to my post. As soon as we shift the focus from us (the ego) to a bigger external focus, it seems to me, that everything falls into place!

I LOVE this post. Is it possible that we are too busy now days to stop and be grateful. I am now retired and have found a peace and contentment in my life that makes me feel good all the time. I am so grateful for even the smallest things. When I was working I would jump out of bed and hit the ground running, putting in a big day everyday and then even my weekends were so crammed. I believe if we could all take the time to be grateful for the smallest things, regularly, there would be less anger in the world, Less road rage, less hatred. We might even start caring again for others. Thank you Janet for this little reminder cause now I am going to be even more grateful for my days and my life.
