Picture Moments at the Beach

I took this dreamy calm picture with my old iPhone 4 at Myrtle beach.  It is so strange how a rickety old fence, a bit of sand and tiny yellow flowers can bring back a happy calm memory.

The reality is I probably looked really crazy walking around the beach snapping away at everything that catches my eye trying to capture the moment.

Happiness is a choice.

This photo is not the whole "picture" of what I was looking at. There was probably a big ugly garbage can right outside of frame. I choose to focus in, edit out all the distractions and see this tiny corner of happiness at the beach.

Life is a lot like this. I have had to discipline myself to just glance at the news headlines to be informed of world events. But I cannot let the negativity of the world distract me from the good and the beautiful things that happy everyday.

Sharing Something Bright and Colorful

I saw this on the wall in a restaurant I go to once in a while. The nice lady who works there said it is for Chinese New Year.

The beautiful bright happy colors and sparkling glitter caught my eye. Looking at this made me happy and changed a blah day into a better day.

Bright bold colors give me energy and inspiration. 

I love it when I find inspiration in the most unlikely places. 

This reminds me to look for good things and positive inspiration everywhere I go. 

Btw can someone translate the characters for me?

Thanks for reading my post!
