I found this gorgeous photo on Facebook from Takinoue Park in Hokkaido, Japan. I would love to see this in person and I’m very grateful for the heartwarming colors and beautiful setting that fill my heart.
Yesterday was a beautiful reminder to keep my heart open and my attitude up while going about my day. What started as a challenging day turned into a day of ease, joy, and blessings, including some lovely messages from friends on WordPress and Facebook. Thank you!
May you find beauty to warm your heart.
What a fabulous photograph and yes it would be wonderful to see this. It’s interesting but I do find that sometimes when a day begins on a challenging note, it can end on a very positive one….the key is the way we approach it….I believe:) Your heart is open to the positive. Have a beautiful day…janet

I love the brilliance and colors of flowers, plants and trees. Nature is magnificent,
One day I would like to visit this place also. Parks and gardens are just 2 of my favorite ways to connect to Mother Nature.
