Green Hill Farm: Gratitude Is the Antidote
“The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be.”
~Shakti Gawain
To be honest, some days here are difficult; however, I don’t have to look far to find a reason to feel grateful. Today was such a beautiful day–unseasonably warm and clear blue skies! So, I decided to take a stroll around Green Hill Farm and soak up some sunshine. Here are a few reasons I found for having a joyful heart.

I’m sorry. Sometimes it’s harder to get an effective dose of gratitude, and I really hate times like that. Here’s hoping some good stuff comes your way soon ❤
I love them all, but especially dogs, rooster and holly 🙂

Thank you, Joey. I love that rooster as well–I’ve had him forever. Things aren’t too bad…..nothing a little sunshine can’t remedy. 🙂 xo

Gorgeous photos of the farm and you know how much I enjoy these…:) Farming must be a tough life. Only someone who’s done it knows how difficult it can be and only those same people can understand the beauty and rewards of your life. I hope the positives always outweighs the difficulties for you.
I wonder…is this what you do when things become hard? Take a walk around the farm?

Thank you for your kind comment, George. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post. I was referring generally to challenges on the farm. Most of the time, we are fortunate that things go fairly well around here. And, I find that a good walk always sorts things out and helps me arrive at the right perspective. 🙂
