Another beautiful vista from the Las Vegas valley. I am grateful for God’s colorful display.

Until recently, it had been many years since I visited the Hoover Dam. It is a masterful achievement, the constuction of which helped Las Vegas survive the dark days of the depression. How often do I fail to appreciate the wonders that are in my “back yard”?

The beauty of the world is seen on many stages. The desert has it’s own special gems to brighten our lives. I am grateful to witness flashes of brilliance in the Las Vegas valley.

We all want to slash away at our “to do” list as we multitask our way through our hectic and noisy days. Yet our souls clamor for peace and serenity. You can’t really multitask your way to quiet and calm. You just have to take time and bring it into your life. 

“Take two” on gratitude for creative options. I love the wide perspective of this image of the ducks in a pond near our house.
