Midweek Gratitude

Several weeks ago I noticed these trees huddled around each other;   perhaps I was seduced by the nest-like quality of the space in the middle.

 These are not the ash trees in my back yard, however, the feelings I have when near my ash trees is similar to what I felt when receiving this picture.  

 This week I am experiencing immense feelings of gratitude. I appreciate the ash trees in my back yard even more than I did before. 

 Do you think the fear of losing people, plant life, or material things makes them more precious?

 Email me or share in the comments section what brings feelings of gratitude to the forefront for you.

 Thanks for exploring the mystery with me - Nicky Mendenhall

    I feel gratitude when I stop and get quiet long enough to remember to feel gratitude. But also when I feel a shift from despair to hope... And yes when I know something's not going to last forever

      Lisa - I love thinking that gratitude comes when we shift from despair to hope. It certainly does - thanks for raising this in my awareness.
