I choose to "See Beautiful"

As I see it, I can choose how to live my life. I can dwell on the bad and on the pain. Or, I can focus on what I love and the joys hiding in shadows of each day. As K taught me so intensely near the end of her life, every day of life is precious and worth celebrating. Every day has a ray of beauty.
A warm sunrise...
Or a crazy happy moment.
I have the choice, and I choose to focus on the beauty peeking from behind the clouds.

  2. When I feel myself to be in a bad mood, or doing something I'd rather not...I try to remind myself I have a choice....I can let the bad mood have it's way or I can choose to be happy! It takes a conscious effort sometimes, but I try to make the right choice!

  4. Choice is a commitment to another day, with hope, and that sunshine in each of your photos. May it always shine for you, even though the day may seem to be dark. Lovely words, and as always, such super photos. Fond greetings, Jean.

  9. I think that outlook that you continue to bring to the page is what has given me strength and changed my outlook in turn. Perhaps it is a gift passed from dog to human to other humans.

    I just finished listening to a book called "The Possibility Dogs" by Susannah Charleson. It has made me see anew the gifts that dogs bring whether they are registered service dogs or pets, who are simply unregistered in their service.
