A Place Of Gratitude DSC_3549
A book I recently read talks about the benefits of keeping a gratitude journal, especially for those who suffer from anxiety. My entry for today is gratitude for the lovely Flickr family that take the time to look at my images, leave incredible comments and share parts of themselves in response to my musings.
I admit that when I write posts like that one, I often feel sick that I have over-shared, been indulgent and that people might roll their eyes. But, I think all the response give me the feeling that this is not the case.
I was humbled by the heartfelt response to my post on Beauty in Decay and ageing. And especially graceful to those who talked about the impact of having lost parents, both when they were young and more recently. It is a privilege to hear your stories and that we are united by the universal loss we all feel and to hear about the strength and different way people face the challenges of ageing.
Photography has bought me so much joy and I think it is not an exaggeration to say it has changed and enriched my life. I think if I didn’t have Flickr and the Flickr community to share with, learn from and be inspired by, I wouldn’t strive as much as I do to make better images.
You are an amazing group of people. Some of you I get to hang out with in person but I am also happy that I can hang out with the rest of you on Flickr.
So thank you, thank you thank you.
