BEING GRATEFUL FOR EVERYDAY LIFE SHOWS US SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF WE SLOW DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THEM.-<\/p>\n

Just a small reminder of the things in our day to day lives, the things that we are so used to driving by, walking by even cycling by.<\/p>\n

I was driving down thru the canyons in LA there is a view that is so awesome, I have even gotten out of my car and taken photos- the ocean like glass the sky and horizon are almost a periwinkle -violet spreading over the whole city, beaches, downtown it doesn’t look like you are in LA.<\/p>\n

One of the most fabulously overwhelming views I have ever seen, I stopped and took photos- a cyclist was riding hard up the hill and stopped to see what I was looking at. He looked at me and asked “WOW, I have been riding up this hill for about 10 years and have never stopped to look behind me” and then he thanked me- I told him “sometimes looking back is not such a bad thing, as long as you’re not still pedaling.”<\/p>\n

Stop and look around harder this time of year brings us so many beautiful changes happen, changing of the leaves, snow on the ground, not everywhere – but LOOK AND BE GRATEFUL at how beautiful you and the world around us is undeniably beautiful even with imperfections.<\/p>\n

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE, you are loved!<\/p>\n
