Look and Be Grateful

We have the most beautiful flowering tree blooming in front of our condo. Each time I walk by it, I want to stop and take a picture, but never make the time. This afternoon, I made the time and look how beautifully it turned out. I find that I have to actually stop myself these days and say--"Michelle, take a minute from your ridiculous day and look at what surrounds you. Look at the beauty. Look at the goodness. Look and be grateful." I'm grateful for lovely little things that make me smile and refresh my spirit.
