Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

10/18/2012

There is always something to be grateful for, but some weeks it seems harder to remember this than others. That is why I try so hard to stop and think each day about what has happened over the past 24 hours that was special in its own way. This week as I drove home each day, I noticed the leaves changing colors. Each day more and more trees proudly displayed brilliant red, bright yellow, or vibrant orange leaves. It's hard not to feel good when nature presents us with a beautiful gift each day. And it is those gifts of color and beauty that I am very grateful for this week. What made you happy or smile this week? I would love to know.

                      Please take a minute to visit the wonderful artists who share their work at Paint Party Friday.
                                                           It is a great way to start the weekend.

Every night when I turn out the light I try to think of all the things I am grateful for from that day. I really think it's a nice way to end the day. I really like your painting.

Happy PPF!

I agree with Denthe…looks like i have stepped into a dream world. Adore the way you rendered the tree and the still water, beautifully captivating.
And to answer your question on what made me happy…having that one more day each day to enjoy life and the loved ones that encircle it….always grateful even when we have recently lost dear ones to our hearts.

Ginny,

the painting is so full of color. I love it:~) I've been walking more and I've noticed the sound of the winter leaves in the trees. To me, they sound like rain. I stood under two giant trees - I have no idea what kind their were - but it was great experience...like being out in the rain, but not getting wet:~)
