Admiration

“Admire as much as you can. Most people don’t admire enough.” ~Vincent van Gogh

I started this blog years ago under a different title, “Something Beautiful Every Day.” At the time, my mother was battling vascular dementia, and I was struggling to manage her care. As my mother’s personality changed, my own moods cycled between anxiety, grief, and exhaustion.

The blog became an exercise in positivity. I couldn’t “fix” Mom’s illness or bring her back to her former self, but I could challenge myself to find beauty and hope in the simple pleasures within my reach. I just had to readjust my focus and my attitude.

Today’s quote from a beloved artist reminds us all to keep looking for people and things to admire — because they’re out there. ~CL
