We have had a Christmas Cactus for a couple of years and have not been able to get it to bloom any time near Christmas. This year we actually had buds on the cactus on Christmas day. My wife was extremely happy about this. I figured I would share a photo of the bloom in the middle of this cold wintery weather. This bloom reminds me that no matter what the circumstances are that beauty can be found if you look for it. While it is cold and dreary outside, this bloom is beautiful. So where do you look for beauty when there appears to be none around you?

Today’s photo kinda fell out of the sky, literally. Here in East Tennessee we don’t see a lot of snow. Well today we had a decent snow fall. Of course no one here knows how to drive in the snow, so only took me 1.5 hours to drive the normal 15 min drive. Snow fall here makes everyone go crazy. There were 9 cars in the ditches on the hill to my house with the back ends sticking in the road. So I did what any normal person would do, I parked my car and walked to my house. Nothing is worth wrecking your car or potential injuring yourself over trying to drive up a snowy/icy hill.

So it is cold outside today. In East Tennessee it was 18 degrees when I got in my car this morning. So I figured I would share a photo of my car’s temperature display. Why would I choose this as my photo of the day, you might ask. Well, as I sat there let my car warm up I was thinking about attitudes and outward appearances of people. On a cold day like this, many people either want to go back to bed or are miserable and want to spread their misery. I thought about how this affects businesses and what my general attitude was towards my clients is. Am I the type of person that someone wants to open up to? Am I fun to be around? Do people enjoy getting their pictures taken by me? My goal is to make sure every person I come into contact with has a good experience with me, both in my personal life and my professional one. So no more letting situations control my attitude. I want to be the type of person that no matter what the situation is, I have a smile on my face and a cheerful attitude. Have a great day and remember to smile, it might warm someones day.
