Happy New Year everyone!
Yesterday my wife and I went to downtown #Houston and I got what might be one of the best photos I’ve taken of my hometown.

It’s strange how being #intentional about how you see a place, a thing or a person can change your perspective of it.

I have for a long time considered this city rather bland and an average place. But look!… look how pretty it is.

I betcha that mindset works with people, too. 😉
