As a child, I would have never imagined that one day I would be able to visit the Disney theme parks. Sometimes I have to admit, dreams do come true just when you least expected it. I have not only been to DisneySea now, but I have actually been there twice. This was one of the captures at the amazing Mysterious Island during an evening walk. I have to say that the two times I were there, the place was literally packed with people. Nevertheless I was grateful not only for the chance of being there, but also to be able to capture all these memories and bring it home with me. This is one of the beauty of photography, to be able to create postcards memories of your experiences, wherever you are.

Gratitude is truly the basis of a wonderful life. No matter what conditions you are at in life, there is always something to be grateful for. If you still find it hard to be grateful, just ponder over this—the last I checked on the world population clock, 151,600 people die each day, 105 people die each minute. If that is not a wake-up call, I don’t know what is. When we wake up in the morning, isn’t that a cause for celebration? We actually “woke” up and we have a day of life right in front of us. The next best thing is to realized that all the people you love woke up too! Isn’t it amazing to see their beautiful faces? There is nothing else comparable. To wake up in the morning is to be given a chance to experience the joy of life. Sometimes it might seem like the whole world is working against you but if you are grateful, you will realized that you were the one that is working against the world. The world is as neutral as it can be, if you let it, even sniffing a breath of fresh air can be the most wonderful feeling you will ever have.
