The practice of gratitude begins today. Right now. Even when it hurts.
Especially when it hurts.
Clear, cool, early morning
Wrapped in a blanket; cozy-warm.
I am holding–with both hands–
A mug of hot coffee into which
Cold moonlight (reflected) dances.
Venus rises in the east; as does the sun.
With loving kindness and gratitude,
Nina 🦋
Growing Up... 
Practicing gratitude, keeping a positive attitude. Watching moonlight, sunrise and sunset gives me so much peace. What lovely a lovely picture to imagine! 💗🌞🌝🌙🌅🦋

Beautiful. I could imagine myself on a fall night snuggled in a swing sipping coffee or tea looking at the sky. Beautiful imagery

Thank you. Whew it’s what gets me through the difficult days. 🙂 I am fascinated with the current research out there how consciously practicing gratitude affects the same areas of our reward system brain. Awesome.
