Gratitude Monday: a welcome return

With all the crappiness surrounding us these days—mostly man-made—I was filled with joy and gratitude to peek through the trees around the (man-made) ponds on the former corporate HQ campus and current construction site of absolutely hideous townhouses selling for $1.2M and discover my old friends the sacred lotus blooming.


Those ponds were completely drained a couple of years ago, and I was so worried about the flora and fauna that were part of their ecosystem. The snapping turtles were rescued and relocated somewhere; I haven’t seen the blue herons. But the lotus gives me hope.

A definite reason for gratitude.
