Good Morning

Some days I need to be reminded of my good fortune. This is one of them so, instead of my usual post, I thought I'd start the day by counting some of my blessings.  

This morning I am grateful for:

• Breathing in and out
• My comfortable home
• Food on my table
• My fella, and the fact that our love has grown stronger over time
• My family
• My friends
• Music
• Quiet
• Conversation
• Books
• This beautiful place
• Cooler weather
• Gentle breezes
• Lush green forests
• Golden fields
• The smell of new-mown hay
• Wildflowers growing along roadsides
• Bullrushes in ponds
• Water lilies growing wild at the lake
• Tidal marshes
• Ducks, and geese, and herons, and cormorants
• Eagles, and hawks, and falcons, and osprey
• Shy deer grazing in the shade
• Fat brown rabbits darting in and out of tall grass
• Piebald cattle grazing on dandelion-spangled grass
• Still bay waters reflecting brightly coloured boats
• The dusty blue moire water of the strait
• Silver haze rising from the water in the morning sun
• White seagulls playing on the breeze

Life is pretty wonderful, don't you think?

Have a joyful day.
