In the fast pace in which we live and work, it can be difficult to slow down and notice the beauty that is around us. And, during the holiday season, this is even more evident. Already our stores are filling up and work is piling on as we rush so as not to miss out. What if the key to thankfulness is actually slowing down? Would we actually experience more pleasure than in trying to do it all?

Louie Schwartzberg uses time-lapse photography to show nature’s stunning ability to stop us in our tracks, if we would only pay attention.  Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at TEDxPeachtree. Experience the beauty around you and say “Thanks.”
