When I look at this photo
I snapped along my walk the other day,
I realize how grateful I am
to have such a place of beauty
so close by
to be able to walk by
every day I can.
There is so much beauty…
so much to be grateful for…
if only we open our eyes
and look with our hearts.
Do you see the possibilities?
Do you wonder about the mystery
that is just a few steps further
along the path
and around the bend?
Open your eyes
and look with your heart.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
