This picture sums up June for me. Its one of the self portraits I took this month for Christy's {In the Picture} and its also my pick for Kat's Photo-Heart Connection. The sun flare over my shoulder, the blue sky, the trees - crazy beautiful. All are glorious. This photo speaks to me of all things for which to be grateful.
I don't keep a grateful journal. Many people do. I don't bother to write down the amazing things that come my way each day, or the things that make me stumble but hold valuable messages and lessons. I've found what works best for me is to acknowledge the things as they happen. Sometimes, I also run a mental list at night before I go to sleep. Its a nice way to drift off into dreamland with thanks on my lips.
June was good for me. It was filled with firsts, wonderful opportunity and yes... also things that caught me off guard and made me stumble.
Thank you June.
this photo shouts out joy and do your words. especially like the lovely phrase, 'things that caught me off guard and made me stumble.'
