The picture above was given to me by a young women passionate about art as therapy and as a way to express what we feel. It is a Tamil word that says "Thank You". It is a position that we do not spend enough time on each day - being thankful. It is easy to not take time to look inside for thankfulness. We tend to be preoccupied with work, duties, chores, and just keeping busy, keeping away from self.
Take a few moments in your day and just stop, look and see around you. Who is just looking besides you? Who is noticing what is around them? Are you?
Thankfulness can be found when you take a moment and look to even the tiniest signs of beauty that is near you. Bet thankful for this moment of beauty.
Another way to see beauty is to look into the picture above. What colours draw you? Which aspects calm you? Which designed fascinate you? Meditate for this moment on a slight piece of beauty you see around you or in the picture above.
