book review I did for \u201cThe Grateful Life: The Secret to Happiness and the Science of Contentment\u201d by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammon<\/a>. If you were inspired to try to bring more gratitude into your life, could I suggest trying a beautiful little book called \u201cSunrise, Sunset: 52 Weeks of Awe & Gratitude\u201d photographed by Kim Weiss.<\/p>\n
When I say photographed, let me explain. Kim Weiss lives in coastal Florida and takes photos of sunrises and sunsets from her terrace. \u201cSunrise, Sunset\u201d features 52 of the most gorgeous photos you can imagine of these scenes. Then, paired with these images are reflective thoughts from Ann DeMarle, Jack Canfield, Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., Candace Bushnell, Frank De Caro, and of course many more.<\/p>\n
A few favorites of mine:<\/p>\n
The night came stealing my heart away, a billion sparkling diamonds and the call of the coyote. Lost in an endless eternity of questions, only darkened clouds for paths. The edge breaks, a golden seal, a blazing sun announcing a new day\u2019s miracle.<\/em> \u2013 Ann DeMarle<\/p>\nEvery sunrise is an invitation to what could turn out to be the best party ever. Dress for it and pack a snack \u2013 just in case you feel puckish \u2013 and you\u2019re sure to have at least a little fun that day.<\/p>\nWatching a sunset makes me feel warm and surrounded by love, and a part of a fabulous adventure that\u2019s just beginning. Plus it means there\u2019s cake in the offing.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve never met a sunset I didn\u2019t like.
\nIt means dinner\u2019s almost ready.<\/em> \u2013 Frank De Caro<\/p>\n
Yeah, I like cake.<\/p>\n
I also love the idea of spending a little time getting to admire a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Something I don\u2019t take the time to do here in New York, or if I do, I\u2019ll readily admit they don\u2019t look like these bad boys. Sometimes the words paired with the images resonated with me, and sometimes not. However that\u2019s how it will be for you too when you buy your copy. Because I highly suggest getting a copy for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
