Yosemite

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

"If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul."

"The sun was shining in my eyes, and I could barely see To do the necessary task that was allotted me.Resentment of the vivid glow, I started to complain--When all at once upon the air I heard the blindman's cane."



Quiet joy...long hikes in Yosemite.
