“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness — it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” – Brene Brown, researcher

The first flowers of the season…

A smile in a tree stump…

A smile caught in a window box in the rain…

And a heart in a puddle.

These are a few of my recent moments of happiness right in front of me made possible by a little awareness. There’s always, always cause for gratitude.
