Gratitude, a feeling of thankfulness, enjoyment, appreciation all words that convey approval for something. I love lots of things beautiful music, hearing aides to hear beautiful music, sunrise, sunset, photography. Photography freed me to explore all the things I like. I have another blog of pictures and most of the pictures are of things I like, love, or interest me. http://ruthmower.blogspot.com/
I took a break from working on it while I thought about another project. Now I am getting back to doing it again. I enjoy sharing my pictures because I am sharing what I love. Animals, birds, plants, city-scapes, landscapes. One of my packages of pictures my daughter looked through and found a picture of a Skittle. Yup that bright green little candy looked super cool snuggled in the dusty trail. I love ducks, blown glass, kids, people. In the last 5 years I have taken more than 60,000 pictures. Yup, that is the right number of zeros after it. I like spiderwebs, cactus, rocks, lines painted in a parking lot. Lots of things capture my attention and I like seeing the beauty in ordinary things.
One of the signs of depression is a lack of interest. As depression loosens the strangle hold on my life, I am starting to discover how extremely curious I am. There are some things I can't take pictures of that I appreciate the warmth from the sun, the hug of a child, a sense of humor, peace in my heart. I grew up with the movie Sound Of Music. One of my favorite songs is "Favorite things." You Tube offers a version with Julie Andrews. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw2VX5wQYQg

That's a gorgeous photograph, Ruth. I see you're getting into the spirit of thankfulness early! :) It makes me want to follow suit.
Thanks. There is so much I am thankful for, I can't fit all in on one day. :)
