AUGUST INSPIRATION-HOW BEAUTIFUL THE WIND CAN ACTUALLY BE!

Up until today, I have spent my entire life moaning about the wind!   I live against a mountainside and overlook the ocean, so we do get a lot of wind.  My husband has just returned from a trip overseas and he brought me a wind chime for the back garden.  Oh, how I love the wind now........I cannot wait for it to be windy, the sounds of the chimes are just gorgeous.  I think the lesson here, is to always look for the good in everything........
