A welcome to Spring and the cultivation of gratitude...

  



It is difficult to contain the joy I feel as Spring engulfs my 

garden. 

I wait patiently for bulbs to push through the cold earth and 

then open up into beautiful delicate blooms.

I am endeavoring to practice a life of gratitude. I try to find

 something each and every day to be thankful for and It is a

 life changing experience.







“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"..
.
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the 

 sunshine...” 






 “She turned to the sunlight

    And shook her yellow head, 

And whispered to her neighbor:

    "Winter is dead.”
 

 “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they 

are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” 


                                        Marcel Proust
       


“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that

 comes to you, and to give

 thanks 


continuously. And because all things have contributed to your

 advancement, you should 

include all things in your gratitude.”
