William Makepeace Thackeray writes:

~  Anne Lamott  in her book  ‘Help.  Thanks. Wow. The Three Essential Prayers.’

Let’s just say I was totally NOT expecting this glorious sunrise today based on first appearances. When I got out of my chair at 6:53, I was awestruck!  I felt like a kid in a candy store!!

I hope today brings you many WOW moments too. Just be open to receive them ….. read more
