Many of my photographs are taken at the North Chagrin Reservation in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. I have expressed gratitude for birds, trees, ponds, frogs, you name it, and most of my photos that illustrate gratitude are taken at this special place! Tonight I am grateful for the reservation itself. It is a place where one can go to stroll along paths through woods and fields. There I hear the cacophany of numerous bird species, each bird vying for attention or jockeying for position in the “pecking order.” I walk, listen, watch, touch and inhale the forest. It has become a sacred place for me to run to when I need a respite from the work that I do. Whether spring, summer, fall, or winter, the reservation compels me to be more mindful, to observe more closely, to listen more intently, and to watch more alertly. I am indeed grateful for the North Chagrin Reservation.
An Attitude of Gratitude
This is a blog all about gratitude. The idea came from the "365 Gratitude Project" encouraging people to find something for which to be grateful every day. I have chosen to use photography and writing as the medium to share my daily gratitude blurbs. You won't see me on the Sabbath or religious holidays, but my goal is to regularly photograph something I'm grateful for, and to share it with the world. I invite you to join me. Together, let us see what happens when we live with grateful hearts.Days Posted
