The Challenge is to Change the Focus

I've done quite a bit of reading over the years, and listening too, to people who seem to have had a bit of a handle on life. They may not have the 'answers', but they do have some wise words and have imparted to many, a profound kind of thinking about how we look at our lives - not just the years lived, or the months, or days, but each minute.
I was moved in recent days by reading about 'gratitude' and the practice of it. The benefits seem to be very real.
So, as part of being reflective and taking an active role in where our journey is taking us, I've started this project.
My aim is to regularly take a photo of something for which I am grateful, and reflect on that. They may be small gratitudes, or bigger picture ones.
I'd love to see your stories too! Feel free to comment and share your contributions.

Fresh Water Everywhere

I am grateful for the abundance such easily available fresh water as I know that millions of people and animals around the world do not have this necessity of life.
I am feel genuine gratitude that I live in a place in which my horse's water trough, fills automatically with cleaner, fresher, healthier water than that available to millions.  I feel spoiled and privileged and I seek, through donations to charities etc, to contribute to the availability of potable water to those who currently don't have this luxury.
Each drop is precious. Each drop is unique. Each drop offers life and comfort.
I am grateful.
