That is such a great philosophy, one we should all etch in our hearts and heads to be repeated daily, as needed. Love the foggy beach and the heart in the concrete.
I have to thank Carol Hart for this one. SHe found the saying. and I fell in love with it! Short and sweet and to the most important point!
Nice post Carol! Love that you were inspired. Images are perfect for the quote.
Oh, yes, such a great quote and your photos could not be more perfect! I will try to keep this in mind. I think it's human nature to focus on what's wrong rather than what's right but it makes us so much happier to focus on the good things!
Lovely reminders - photos are grand.
Simply beautiful! Wonderful pairing of images and words.
you could have not expressed this any better. just perfect carol. I love it!
Oh how glorious the images are that fit so perfectly with the quote!! Thank you!!
This says so much! Thank you.
