Look for the good around you; try to notice things you take for granted
Take a deep breathe in and take a moment to use ALL your senses to: look, smell, hear, touch and taste what you can appreciate.
What do you appreciate in this space?
You may notice the peace poll - let's take a moment to appreciate this global symbol of unity, peace and diversity.
Each Peace Pole bears the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in different languages on each of its sides.
There are estimated over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace.
Walk Briskly to the Next Stop: Gratitude Rock Garden
NOTE: 2 more stops to go...
We are hoping this will be the site of our future USF Gratitude Rock Garden
A Gratitude Rock Garden is a collection of rocks where people write or draw things they appreciate
Are you familiar with Gratitude Rock Garden rules of "Take a Rock, Leave a Rock"?
This means you can take a rock when you need one and leave one for someone else.
This allows the garden to be dynamic and so there is always something new to see and experience every time you visit.
Here is a picture of the rocks that USF students, faculty, staff and community members have made so far for our Gratitude Rock Garden!
Take a moment to see other's "good news"

"Gratitude plays a major role in well-being and happiness... when you are thankful, you tune in more to the goodness around you." -Hal Urban, pg. 7
