When we become mindful, we are able to see what is truly there; we are able to catch what we miss when we are in motion. Like a photo, the goodness of God is best captured when we are still. Even if it seems like there is very little, or much, to be grateful for, if we can bring ourselves be still and mindful our eyes would be opened up to see so much more.
