Family Fridays~Early Morning Sunrise*

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?

Warm sunny days, birds’ celebration in song, with green buds pushing up the earth…

New hope, possibilities, dreams, and activities…

 ~Distractions beckon me.~

Reminders of Renewal~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sun’s warmth from the sky

Wings moving through the air

Tulip leaves pushing up the earth

Green moss under the leaves

Songs tickling our ears

Reminders of renewal in the midst of cold winter days.
