How each of us chooses to see this photograph provides a glimpse into the strength of our gratitude muscle. As I share in today's Monday Motivational post, The Gratitude Effect: A Simple Shift for Profound Change - when we live with awareness, holding ourselves in the present, we see the gifts that surround us each day, even if, as this image captured at @parc_botanique_haute_bretagne in France back in late winter of this year, the garden isn't in its peak of blooms and foliage.
