Stop and appreciate what you have today. Like a child, look at what you have with wider eyes, maybe with more compassion and more gratitude for the things that you do have and not the things you don’t have

"The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts."

" Life is full of beauty, notice it. Only then will you know how truly blessed you are to still be here. Also, be thankful for the things you have and don't focus on the thing you don't have. Love yourself regardless of what anyone thinks of you. And always remember that life is too short to be anything but happy.

I guess you could say my greatest passions in life are gardening & hiking, l love working in my garden. I have roses, irises, day lilies, and a few herbs but I'm working on putting in more
I usually keep the bird-feeders filled so the little fellows can entertain me while I have my morning coffee lol
