“I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought,
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
G.K. Chesterton
Thank you for the migraine clouding my brain,
that made me realize how lucky I am to be pain-free once it
had stopped
Thank you for Winter with all its grey and blah days
that made me realize how truly stunning a sunset or a sunrise can be
Thank you for all the wet and windy days
that make me realize the magic that comes after the rains stop
Most of all thank YOU dear friends for coming to visit day after day
making me realize that stepping out of my comfort zone is allowing me
to become the person I always dreamed of being
Far Away In The Sunshine 
Ces photographies sont très belles, mais les textes qui les accompagnent leur donne un supplément d’âme qui les magnifie !
Très belle journée à vous, Anyes 🙂

Oh so true Anyes…we appreciate the wonderful things about life when we have to wade through the unpleasant, painful and disappointing….being grateful for those experiences enchances our lives. I’d never heard this Chesterton quote before but I’m putting this part in my “pocket” — “gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder” … doesn’t that make you smile? Have a beautiful weekend my dear…may the sun shine and your head be at rest! xo
