“Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary.”
~ Margaret Cousins
This morning, my mind wanted to tell you that the sunrise was a bit drab, ho-hum, slow. ‘Oh Lord’ thought my mindfulness … Is this the way the day is going to be?!? Gratefully, almost as I recognized my thinking, the divine seemed to reply: “Here little one, I’ll give you something to be thankful for!” And indeed, the sunrise was beautiful, as it is every day. For I am here, alive by the glory of my creator, to experience it.
“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.”
~ J. B. Priestly
I loved watching the sunrise this morning. Watching the brilliant beam of light that lit up the clouds right above me, change from a brilliant pink to a soft, glowing yellow. And all the while, very fresh tradewinds were blowing in my face, catching my hair, welcoming the start of a new day.
Yesterday I began updating our villa website. It felt like it was time for a clean sweep.
