A Month of Gratitude - April 26. Although it’s incomplete, I’m sharing a photo of my current project - because I can’t let this day go by without expressing my deepest gratitude for Zentangle and its founders. Discovering and pursuing this inspirational mindfulness practice has brought so much to my life - an outlet for creativity; opportunities for calm, peace, and relaxation; the discovery that I love teaching something I love; and, as a teacher, the privilege of connecting with others as I share the beauty and possibilities of Zentangle. Of all the pastimes I ever could have had the good fortune to stumble upon, this is by far the most joy-filled!

My “Gratitude and Appreciation” Zentangle Mantraband. ❤️🙏🏻

From Sunrise ¤ (these photos are all at sunrise & moonset, in the 1st pic, left corner; supermoon setting at sunrise) To Sunset ¤ Give Gratitude♡ ~Dare to Be~ When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile. When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too. When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best. Dare to be the best you can – At all times, Dare to be! ~Steve maraboli~ #fms_gratitude ♡6•19 ¤ • ¤ • ¤ • ¤ #fmsphotoadaychallenge #06192022 #gratitude #stevemaraboli #daretobe #moonset #supermoon #sunrise #southsteeenswilderness #easternoregon #onda #realoregon #mothernaturesbeauty #myfavoriteplace #heavenonearth #crashthedog #pitstagram #palominocamper #buttermilk_thecamper #dodgeram2500 #mabel_mytruck #mypnwlife #wildartphotography #imyourgirl #loveistheanswer #bekind #wildlifeconservation #saveourwildhorsesandburros (at Mother Nature) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCTuU7JvXE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

August Month of Gratitude Day Twenty-Seven Ah, to be eighteen and excited to live in a shared apartment for only €300 per month. And no big deal to be on the fourth floor too.
