ReplyDeleteSo true! It can be so easy to fall into the habit of focusing on all the things that keep us down. But no matter what is going on- there is always some beauty to be found. If we stop to notice it- it can make a lot of the bad things fade away a bit.
ReplyDeleteLove that color bar template :)
