Simple Joy: Change of Perspective
I started my Simple Joy photog challenge a year ago this month. Little did I know that I would need this challenge to help keep me hunting for joy within a joyless season.
It doesn't seem it but there is still joy roaming around for us to see and be thankful for. I think about Anne Frank and how her young life was lived in one of the most joyless times in history. I found this quote from her that helped put things into perspective for me, “I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.”
How in the world did she see beauty in what she was experiencing? Yet, somehow, she chose to focus on the beauty that remained of all the ugliness that went on during her lifetime. This has renewed my desire to get back into doing my weekly Simple Joy photo challenge.
This morning I noticed some leaves scattered around my lawn. It was only when I got down to their level that I noticed that each blade of grass had tiny rain drops clinging to them. Sometimes it takes a change of perspective to change our attitude and show us something new and beautiful to be thankful for.
