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.

The Insight and Wisdom of an Objective Observer

I sat with a professional today and shared some of the issues plaguing me...the crushing anxiety created and the unknowns in my life....
I was feeling overwhelmed with it all, so I sought him out....
He listened, really listened, and shared some observations and insights; gave me some wonderful visual images (without deliberately doing so); assisted me to recognise the 'space' within which 'I' exist and from which I operate and most of all he helped me put some perspective back and make some positive plans.
Thank you.....I am grateful.
