Appreciate the good things { BIG & Small }

So today was a hard day for me, the weather is really taking a toll on my soul. I know spring is surely on the way but when the days are dark and dreary it's really hard to see the good things in life. So when I woke up this morning I put on the coffee as usual and when I went to open the curtains in my sun room I was pleasantly greeted with this beautiful hibiscus bloom. I don't know why but this actually put a smile on my face.This made me realize even amidst the grueling days of January you still have to try and find the good things and appreciate them however small the are. Sometimes in life we get so focused on the negatives that we don't even see all the good things right before our eyes. So until spring I will have to keep busy with lots of art projects and wishful thoughts of being on the ocean where my heart and soul is most HAPPY!
