“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ― Melody Beattie
First things first – This tree is from my apartment complex and I clicked it on my way back from a morning swim. I loved looking up this one as I was about to walk across. This day we got a clear sky after many days of rains. Trees sure add so much joy to our lives.
I have been away for two editions now but I won’t get into that. Today, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to this little community of tree lovers that we have built around us. We come together, we appreciate nature and mother Earth and we talk about trees. I won’t shy away from sharing that if it wasn’t for you all, I would have stopping blogging long back. Thank you for keeping me going. Virtual hugs and love to each one of you who have been here every edition or even one edition.
Before I go, a quick stat to share – There were 15 Thursday Tree Loves in 2022 and hey, we did it atleast once a month. We will sure be better in 2023 but here’s a big thank you to all of you!
Have a lovely start to 2023 and I will see you on the other side of the calendar soon.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on January 12 2023. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.

Thank you for continuing to host, Thursday Tree Love. The trees are worth it! If once a month works for you, that’s okay. Think about the third Thursday. (Kinda has a ring to it.) 🙂 I love your photo and the quote is one of my all time favorites. Here’s my post about leaves hanging on.

That’s a good one, JoAnna. While once a month may become easy, I feel that will the gap make me miss writing so I am going to push myself again this year and see if I can do the two times a month. Fingers crossed and I so appreciate your support.

I know what you mean about the forests. I worry about the trees in cities more where they are being cut to give space for apartment complexes or roads. I am always happy to have you join us Mascha. It’s okay if you are not regular. I know you love trees and that’s what matters here in this little tree lovers community we have. You are always welcome whenever you get a chance. Take care!

We understand life. Really. Thank you for hosting so graciously and beautifully. Maybe, once per month will be more manageable while life works itself out??? If you continue hosting in 2023, here’s my first offering: https://iamchandralynn.com/2023/01/12/thursdaytreelove-winter-care/
