“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” – William Arthur Ward
Why is it so hard to show people appreciation? Why are we so hesitant to thank people for showing us kindness or doing something nice for us? Showing gratitude is more than saying thank you. It is when you see that same person going through something similar that you jump in and help them. It is making sure they understand how much you appreciate them for what they did or continue to do. Having gratitude means acknowledging someone for what they did to help you be a better person. Take a moment today, and find someone who has supported you in life, and show a little gratitude.
We took a trip to Orlando with my mom for winter break. One of the things she has always wanted to do was to hang out with the flamingos. We found a place in Orlando called Discovery Cove that let us do just that. We spent time walking with them on parade, we sat with them, we fed them, and we enjoyed their company. Overall, it was a great experience. The weather couldn’t have been better for December. It was one of the warmest weeks in December. I spent the entire week in shorts, and we had a great time. Here are a few of the photos I captured with my camera right before we spent time with the flamingos.
