Sunrise

Here are my thoughts on this photo: if one can sit through a sunrise, and feel the serenity and power, one can make it through any day.
  do you get up early Just to watch the sun rise in the sky?  We only get one chance a day to do this. If I miss sunrise, I try to see the sun setting.  Some days clouds prevent the visual, but the "sense" of daybreak is awesome. Try it. It could empower you more than you realize.

    My favorite sunrises are deep pink and sunsets are those pink orange with hues of purple following.

Life changes. Tragedies. Trauma. But, I am still here. Moving forward. The photo in this entry is part of a letter to my family, kind of explaining "who I am" now. Their concern is for my happiness, and I sincerely appreciate that, and their love for me.  In recent years of going through illnesses and deaths of those close to me, I have gained a renewed vision of Life.  I am more accepting of the unknown in life. I am willing to take the chance at "love": be it simple friendships, or something more.  Some say, don't move too fast, take your time. Some say, get out, do all you can.   Well, I sort of combine the two.  Alone time is important, but also I need the comfort and warmth of others in my life. What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re

Angel Wings

Today I missed my Dad.  He's been in heaven almost 4 years, but today was his Birthday.  He would've been 94.  Spent this morning at church. This afternoon boating on a local lake.  Dad liked boating... I think he'd have enjoyed the day.  Through all this heat we've had clear skies. Today the clouds rolled in.  These clouds I photographed reminded me of angel wings.... sort of a "sign" from my Daddy.  Thanks Dad, I appreciate your creativity and love. Give your parents a hug if they are still in your life. If they have passed on, give someone else's parents a hug, they will like it, trust me, there are never too many hugs in your life.

Savor the Memories

   It was unseasonably warm today. 66 degrees for January in Missouri is so wonderful a gift! I checked out the air in tires and oil in vehicles. Took houseplants outside and trimmed dead leaves. I did various other "maintenance" things around the house. While doing these mundane chores, I thought about things for which I am thankful. Although tragedies inundate our lives some times, there are always blessings to be counted. Warm sunshine, warm home, family and friends. Actually so many blessings came to mind that it brought tears to my eyes. We must be thankful for each day. And thankful for those we love and care for, whether they are still in our lives or not... cherish the fact they are in our heart.    Yesterday was warm and sunny too. I try to take advantage of these warm spells, because I know it can (and will) change drastically in an instant. The weather is kinda like life that way.  A person can be going along, minding their own business, and BAM, life throws a
