seeing the good

i am a true believer in

seeing the good .

the good

of waking up &

smelling coffee.

the good of my family;

the joy & love they bring.

hearing the whistling 

of the wind

as it blows against

my window. 

the smell after the rain washes

everything brand new

or the rays of sunshine

that peep out from

the blue sky.

the good in a new day

and second chances.

in forgiveness

and love.

in friendships.

the good in life.

in promises

of hope and a future

the good in people

& the kind

action of others.

the smile from a stranger.

it is pretty simple really.

do i want to be a person 

who sees good

in everything around me?

in the people in my life?

in my blessings?

do i want

to constantly find bad 

in everything?

to dwell on all that is dark?

to be discouraging to others?

there is much to be thankful for-

sometimes the beauty

gets overshadowed by

the ugly.

i choose

to stop and look around 

at the beauty that

is in every single day!

and you?

will you join me

in seeing the good

and beautiful today?

i desire to inspire
others to see the good.

to be thankful.

i do know that for some right now on the east coast
seeing the good is very hard!

i also know that there are people who are sick or
have a family member who is sick.

there are so many  people who have suffered loss.

my thoughts and prayers are with those who
are suffering right now.

may you be surrounded with love
and lifted by the prayers of many.
