This post wraps up my 30 Days of Gratitude postings. I have been changed this month. I have been more content, peaceful, and joyful as I've contemplated the beauty of nature. As the quote says
"It is not joy that makes us grateful, it's gratitude that makes us joyful." ~ David Steindle-Rast
I am grateful as I wander this earth for the many beauties I see in nature and I am grateful that when I share them here, you visit. I am grateful for each one of you. Words can never express how you have touched my life in so many ways! Thank you for sticking with my posting every day this month! Thank you for your comments that always make me smile! Thank you for being in my circle of friends!
"New beauty meets us at every step in all our wanderings."

So glad you had an exciting month of focusing on God's amazing creation and being grateful. Yes, it is definitely life-changing. The photo is such a great way to summarize the month.
ReplyDeleteOh, Cathy, what a beautiful mosaic of nature photos. I can't tell you how much I've looked forward to your daily "grateful" each and every day this month. I am so very grateful for YOU in my life!
ReplyDeleteThat's the great think about starting a gratitude challenge ... it teaches us to look at our blessings and to find the joy. That's what it's all about. I've so enjoyed making this journey with you, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous mosaic, one cannot be better than the other, it's a perfect completion of things to be grateful of. I believe it does great to one's soul and brings a very positive change to one's attitude towards life. I'm thinking of it as a good way to start the Advent.
