Shocking!

Cactus can be sneaky, ill-tempered, and sometimes hostile. But, Oh my! Cactus can be beautiful.

Today, in your encounters and engagements, look for the flower instead of the fault, the good behind the grumpy. Enjoy a half-full cup of life instead of the half-empty one. I had no idea the beautiful blooming cactus existed in my neighborhood. But, I turned a corner and there it was. Sometimes we don’t expect the good, the beautiful, the astonishing, but life is full of lovely surprises. May this day surprise you with moments of joy and beauty. No, may this day shock you so that you will have no other option than to say “Thank You!” Be grateful today for the least, the little things. You and I are blessed so that we can share ourselves gladly and thankfully. May it be so. Press on.
