"Grateful"

(from "Beyond the Lights" soundtrack)

There were a lot of tears I had to cry through

A lot of battles left me battered and bruised

And now I was shattered, had my heart ripped in two

I was broken, I was broken,

There were a lot of times I stumbled and crashed

When I was on the edge, down to my last chance

So many times when I was so convinced that

I was over, I was over

But I had to fall yeah

To rise above it all

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

I was sinking, I was drowning in doubt

The weight all of the pain was weighing me down

I pulled it together and I pulled myself out

Learned a lesson, learned a lesson

That there's a lot you gotta go through, hell yes

But that's what got me strong, I got no regrets

And I've got only love, got no bitterness

Count my blessings, count my blessings, yeah

I'm proud of every tear, 'cause they got me here

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

There is nothing I would change

Not even one mistake I made

I got lost, found myself, found my way

I'm grateful for the storm

Made me appreciate the sun

I'm grateful for the wrong ones

Made me appreciate the right ones

I'm grateful for the pain

For everything that made me break

I'm thankful for all my scars

'Cause they only made my heart

Grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful, grateful

Grateful

You know that I'm grateful

You know that I care

No time for the wrong ones

I'll always be there

Grateful

Grateful, grateful, grateful

I’m grateful

Grateful, grateful (oh yeah)

Grateful, yeah

Happy weekend, my friends.

Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo city, Brazil.

I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.

Autumn in the Tetons. Makes you feel pretty insignificant.....

But eternally grateful.

The smell was overwhelming. Sage, dust (like before a storm), clean air, freedom.

In grateful recognition of all those who gave their service and lives during the Second World War that we might live in peace.

Remember that being happy doesn’t mean you have everything.

It simply means that you are grateful for what is there ♡

Things I Am Grateful For Today (And Always)

Needless to say I am grateful for many things in my life- including traveling....

Taxidi - Nikos Portokaloglou

When the world looks at me

I wonder what they see

Underneath these eyes

Oh, smiles masquerade as pain

And grow up to be shame

Then leave me with a lie

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Ey, ey, ey

I'm tired of this dirty heart

That keeps our world apart

I need Your loving fire

And even in these church clothes

I can't dress up my soul

To be free is my desire

I'm so far from where they think I am

But when I raise my hands

I'm reaching out for life

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

I know they, they don't see my flaws

Or these hidden scars

And all the mess I've made

Oh, so don't, don't let Sunday fool ya

Here's my hallelujah

Every single day, I'm running to Your grace

Running to Your grace

Ooh, I need it everyday

This time of year I feel especially grateful. I'm very grateful for all of you, my Flickr friends. Without asking, you give me joy...and that joy turns into a creative attitude:)

I think we all believe that grateful living is a celebration of the universal give and take of life. A limitless yes to belonging.

And I feel a very special sense of belonging with all of you, my Flickr friends.

I'll post each day until Christmas as I finally have some time away from work to play with my camera.

Blessings, Joan

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. - Henry David Thoreau

Have a wonderful day, everyone...

* Life living on the edge of a cliff with thousands of other birds inevitably leads to some lively interaction. Not sure if this contact between these guillemots and the puffin was aggressive or not. The second puffin clearly did not want to get involved. Taken at RSPB Bempton in East Yorkshire

I was lucky to see this tree fungi as I usually see fungi among the leaf litter on the ground. No way I can get down to ground level with my knees....

As I edited, I found a bonus "mini fungi" at the bottom of the frame.

This little beauty came and perched on the balcony next to ours at the cottage we stayed at in Dorset. It had been around for a few minutes on a distant roof before it came over to us and I managed to take this shot. I'm guessing that it's a juvenile (it didn't appear too sure of itself) or it might be a female - I've never seen one this close before.

Or it might be something else entirely.......

If anyone can enlighten me I'd be grateful!

Above Basset's cove on the cliffs. When there's no fishing boats to chase for fish, the seagulls can always find some fast food take away behind a tractor and plough.

Festivities June, festivals of the popular saints, or celebration of the mid-summer (Midsummer) are the period centered on the summer siege (northern hemisphere) and winter (southern hemisphere), and more specifically on the celebrations of Northern Europe that occur Between June 19 and June 25. Exact dates vary between cultures.

The Christian Church, however, designates June 24 as the feast day in honor of the Christian martyr St. John the Baptist and celebrates the Eve of St. John and the Birth of John the Baptist.

* I'm grateful for visit, favs and comments of my photo.

Apologies to our native brothers and sisters. Finally! Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day. Sorry that this step took so long, but grateful that we can begin or try to make amends.

Thank you for looking

Merry Christmas Everybody!!

* A shot from Namibia from 2007 and the fourth continent on our December travels . This was taken from the top of Dune 7 it was a extremely hard climb in the heat, i would not even attempt it now. The view from the summit was incredible . I am pretty sure about half way down you can just see Mary who had given up the climb she had more sense

Dune 7 is the highest dune in Namibia.The dune has been measured at over 1,256 feet and is named Dune 7 because it is the seventh dune one encounters after crossing the river Tsauchab.

Still experimenting with extension tubes, here I was looking for something different to photograph with some very tired looking tulips. A lot of the color seemed to have faded, which made me think more of a monochrome edit - including some generous use of sliders to fit into the Sliders Sunday Theme. HSS to those who participate as well!

I'm so grateful for this theme...now I might remember to restring the lovely amber bracelet I tucked away in a drawer a couple of years ago!

Today I'm grateful for the colors of Lake Superior rocks I've collected over the years and I’ve put them all around my house.

Color are the SMILES of nature.

that our happiness be each other's happiness...our thankfulness for each other's love...
