This Gratitude You Speak Of

A  L  O  H  A !
" If you can't be 
thankful 
for what you have, 
be thankful for 
what you have escaped. ” 
                                John Wayne



These Sea Turtles Inhabit a Construction Fence

Gratitude is
a big word for 
realizing how
lucky
you are
in so many ways
right here - right now



Linking to



Gratitude
starts as
an idea -







But if it takes root,
gratitude becomes
the texture of
a happy life

Keep Gratitude

    Gratitude is a very elementary sensation. Your photos are getting more and more colourful!. Cloudia what does <3 mean? You use it all the time and I have no idea what it stands for.
    Have a great week!

    A wonderful observation on gratitude. And I love the sea turtles mural.

    That crane is interesting. I always look forward to the burst of color on your posts, Cloudia!

    I agree with Reader Wil about how lovely and colourful your images are. And I had to smile about the <3. A past boyfriend's daughter used to sign off with it all the time and it perplexed me until I turned my head sideways and saw the perfect heart.

    hm gratitude.
    one of these all-things-to-all-people words.

    I’m rarely grateful in isolation, should I try to be different?

    Love that crane.

    That is a nice way to offset a construction fence, putting images of sea turtles on it!
