My Motivation for Monday

Today is February 23, 2009: When I opened my front door this morning, this is the view that peeked through the rooftops and beckoned me to snap a shot.  Funny how the little things in life can really make a difference in how your day will go. Ah.... the mind...the thinking and how one approaches each and every day.

I dare not let any moment of the day pass without acknowledging every little thing I am grateful for.

 

A rising sun on the east

Different colors and hues

A hint of the new day 

Rising between colors of blue.

 

If there is anything in this life of mine that I am truly grateful for

Is waking every morning and living the day; and sleeping well at night.

Woo Hoo, You get that gorgeous sky in the morning and we get it in the evening. It usually means the next day will be bright and sunny. But then most of your days are  as well as mine.

I would love to have seen that view.  All I saw was about a foot of snow in Nebraska.

Aloha Sally,

Spectacular photo.

Earlier today while heading to the mail box I enjoyed the sweet scent of orange blossoms from a nearby tree, it gave me a moment to pause and appreciate the experience. Yet you put it so beautifully...I dare not let any moment of the day pass without acknowledging every little thing I am grateful for.

What a wonderful way to start the day.....I love waking to a beautiful sunrise ;)

Posted by Kathy McGraw, Riverside County CA Real Estate (CELLing Realty) about 3 years ago

Sally, I love savoring the little things.  I experienced a beautiful sight the other day.  The full moon was out and it wasn't yet dark.  It was orange and I tried and tried to get a picture of it.  My settings must have been off for the moon kept disappearing in my shots.  I'll have to enjoy it for real and not be able to save it LOL.

That's beautiful! I'm always motivated by nature too. But beautiful skies are especially moving. They evoke deep emotions for me. It just reminds me of how vast the universe is, and how small we are in comparison. And then I think of how much God loves little ole me, in relation to all of that. =)

Posted by Lisa Hill (Daytona Beach Real Estate) (Florida Property Experts) about 3 years ago

Hi Sally!  Okay, my motivation for Monday or ANY day with that view, would be to park my hiney in the hammock and gaze into that gorgeous sky!  WOW, that is just beautiful!
