This reminds me of GRATITUDE
how it begins and swells
and encircles
growing ever larger
the more it circles
the more it circles
the more grateful
we become…
reminding us of more
to be grateful for.
Hadn’t thought of that. I was a reporter in Dallas back in the 1970s when Thanksgiving Square went in, and wrote a story about its opening. A beautiful, peaceful place in the midst of city chaos.
Great picture! Thanksgiving square has always been one of my favorite spots.
That is gorgeous. Could have worked for the challenge last week “windows”, too.
