We cannot solve all of our problems with thoughts alone. Sometimes we need arms to hold us, a sunrise to touch us, laughter to warm us, words to inspire us, or tears to cleanse us before we can lessen our pain enough to be able to think our way out of the mess we’re in.” Sandra Kring
This is my “last” chance to share some of the images I loved that didn’t quite make it into this year’s posts.
Gratitude is a way for people to appreciate what they have instead of always reaching for something new in the hopes it will make them happier, or thinking they can’t feel satisfied until every physical and material need is met. Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. And, although it may feel contrived at first, this mental state grows stronger with use and practice.~ giving-thanks-can-make-you-happier
