Standing in front of the french doors, looking across the deck through the bare forest trees over to a distant hill…I see the sun rise this morning. *
At first a beautiful rosy glow crosses the eastern sky, changing to a paler warm orange…
Until the light disperses the color, and the sun finally peeks over the horizon.
Thinking about the arrival of 2013, I assess the joys and challenges of this past year.
This reflection provides reminders…,
a possible change in perspective…
a sense of renewal…
And, taking a breath,
I decide I can slowly begin moving forward with courage…
peeking over the horizon into the New Year…
*Do you have a sense of newness as the New Year begins?–For your life, family,or creative pursuits?

I’ve been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you
did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

I leave a response whenever I especially enjoy a article on a site or if I have something to contribute
to the conversation. It is triggered by the sincerness displayed in the
post I read. And on this post Family Fridays~Early Morning Sunrise* | Joni Beach.
I was excited enough to post a commenta response 😛 I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if it’s okay. Could it be simply me or does
it look like like some of these responses come across like they are coming from brain dead folks?
😛 And, if you are writing on additional sites, I would like to keep up with you.
Would you list all of all your communal sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
