Today I Give Thanks for the Beauty to Be Found Just by Looking


Today I give thanks for the beauty to be found just by looking.

 

“You can observe a lot just by watching.”  - Yogi Berra

 

I found a little bit of beauty remaining in my back deck garden, despite below freezing temperatures and rain.  Right where I rarely take the time to observe the plants closely – there it was.  Long after most other plants became dormant, this Maple Leaf Geranium, originally developed to celebrate Canada’s Centennial, was still going strong.  Lovely!

 

It reminds me that no matter the difficult weather, no matter the political climate, there’s always room for beauty.  But we must take the time to watch for it. 

 

As the winds blow and the snow falls, may we each take time today to watch and to enjoy observing something beautiful right there in our midst.
