ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE

Photo taken on Barbados February 2010 by Denise
The other day I featured Roses. Today, a variety of flowers. All of these are tropical flowers, and the photos were taken on Barbados in 2010. It's one of the things Hanley and I like to do on vacation (and occasionally just around town): take photos. I especially like to photograph flowers. But how many photos of flowers does one person need? Like friends, can one ever have too many?
I find flowers to be so very interesting. They are each so different: The intricacies of the designs, the varied colors, and (sometimes) the unexpected things that camera catches. Kinda like my friends!
This particular photo was taken not long after I began my SAORI journey. I did not expect to catch the beauty of imperfection, or the joy of irregular patterns. But they are there. My friends are beautiful like that too. Imperfect (thank goodness, 'cause otherwise what would they be doing with me!), colorful, intricate. Some are delicate, some are hearty. All are full of heart.
Today I am grateful for:
* Friends. Friends who keep me sane. Friends who challenge me to be better than I am. Friends who recognize gifts I do not see in myself. Friends who call just to say "Hi." Friends who love me in spite of my shortfalls. Friends who post their morning gratitudes.
* SAORI. It has enriched my life beyond measure.
* Morning Workouts: I may not particularly enjoy the alarm going off at 6, or sometimes waking up 30 minutes before it goes off, but I do love the results of feeling stronger.
* ART. Separate from SAORI. I have so many friends who are artists in a variety of media. And I have a good amount of their art in my home!
* COFFEE It may have something to do with the waking up before the alarm. It may just be that it's coffee.
