Sunset: a Special Gift.

 We had rain for the past few days, but just cloudy today. Some snow predicted for tomorrow. It’s winter so I don’t mind the snow ~ but I don’t like ice~ whew I’ve almost wiped out driving on icy roads... No thank you!

Even in winter, we get a stunning sunset every now and then. Sunsets like this have special meaning for me... my husband David would stop whatever he was doing and watch the entire sunset. When I asked him why sunsets were so very special he answered that he had worked in a factory, on the night shift for 20+ years and he only could see a sunset on the weekend. He was 58 at that time. We spent many evenings in lovely silence watching day become night. David passed away the following year. Ever since he’s been gone, I make a special effort to enjoy every sunset possible. I have hundreds of sunset photos... each one is unique, and a gift from our Creator. Start watching and enjoying sunset, it will calm your soul. 

Thank you David Fite. You were an artist and a dreamer.... and you were so right: each sunset is a special gift. 

Stay safe. Be blessed. And share a sunset with someone you love.  ♥️♥️♥️

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.
