Lately I have been driving early in the morning.
To be out in the dark and observing the sun rising is new to me.
The start of a new morning begins as I drive down the road.
I am often reminded that each day we get a fresh clean slate.
We can choose if we want it to go bad or not.
Even in our struggles that others may put towards us
it is still our choice to decide behavior shown or words spoken.
It is a challenge for us on a daily basis.
Do we show kindness?
Do we smile?
Do we pray and ask good things for others?
Are we grateful that we can get up one more day and breathe
the breath of life and hope and goodness?
Even when it is hard to find those things
they are there right in front of us.
We choose the direction we are giving out to others.
Every day we are given a choice and
I pray we make a good one.
I am not sure where this photo came from
but what I do know:
it is welcoming.
I could sit there in the quiet and listen to the water and perhaps geese flying in the sky above my head.
I could see the clouds form assorted images and let my imagination rest and relax.
Fall trees cover the landscape as the crisp wind tells me I might need a sweater.
Maybe I would have a good book to read or a full glass of tea.
Maybe I would have a sketch pad to re-create the beauty before me.
Maybe I would have a hot cup of coffee and a plate of cookies.
Perhaps I would do nothing but enjoy the silence and say a prayer of thanks.
It is welcoming and peaceful for all to see and observe.
I am not sure where this photo came from
but I thank whoever took it.
It is a blessing.
