It's easy to get caught up in all the negativity and ugliness we see going on in the world and around us; to feel like that's all there is, especially when it's practically shoved in our face by media. But that is a lie. Yes, there are terrible things happening, but there are also beautiful things everywhere if we just choose to seek and see them. A sunrise, the moon glowing in the sky, a bird song, an unexpected smile, a call from a friend you haven't talked to in a while. It's work to shift your brain to find these happy things and not just see doom and gloom. I will continue to marvel at the stars and greet the moon when I see it, appreciating the beauty around me and being thankful for it.
