Gratefulness

I've written here a number of times about my belief that gratitude is one of the most important practices for maintaining optimism in the face of life's difficulties, so I was charmed to discover Gratefuness.org.  However, I certainly was challenged by the "Good Day" video to cultivate an even deeper level of gratefulness, but I was also pleased to see one of my favorite images:  the California poppy against a brilliant blue sky.  Something about this captures my spirit, a childhood raised in the California sun, surrounded by the precious wildflowers.
