Gratitude

Gratitude is this week's Texture Tuesday Theme, and what better way to wrap up a month of Thanksgiving then reflecting on thoughts of Gratitude.

Be Thankful For...
by Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary
Because it means you've made a difference.

It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are
also thankful for the setbacks.

GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
and they can become your blessings.

Here I added 1 layer of kk_MusicLovin, multiply @ 64%; 1 layer of kk_paper2, overlay @ 67%; and I topped it off with a little "Gratitude" script.


Happy Texture Tuesday! :)

This is great. Love the inspired words you included. The photo is gorgeous on it's own but the texture gives it a whole new look. Very nice. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Such a happy photo! I love the bright yellow against the green, and the textures you've used give this a painterly quality that is just wonderful. I appreciate your thoughts on gratitude, too -- so true.

Your texture work is lovely but I don't think it would work so great if your photo was not that good though. The color is just beautiful, love that yellow and green.
