Today I choose joy

“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” 

- Thich Nhat Hanh

Nature

Grand Teton National Park

Nature is very versatile. It has so many facets to it. Every tiny part of nature harmoniously coexists with every other part.

Mother Nature

 "Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."

—John Muir, Our National Parks

  

Perspective

Be willing to step outside of your normal limits and viewpoints and see the world in different ways. This is the time to see a bigger picture.

Everywhere, everyday.....

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

Heroes
