FROM THE INN ON THE HILL

  I am always curious when I rise every morning. to what awaits me on the other side of my window shade. How is it for you, do you as I, try to predict what is dawning on the horizon? One morning as I opened the blind ~a gift was waiting for me- but not for long. For most assuredly had I have been but a mere minute later, I would undoubtedly have missed this glorious morning sky. How is it that every dawn is different? Perhaps it is just an ordinary one at that~~~you know, just ho-hum. But then perhaps it is something not so ordinary~I wonder does my attitude determine my appreciation for what waits for me each new morning? Perhaps this is so! Each day's dawn presents us with not only the freshness of another day--but an opportunity to try some new things/have a second chance/finish what we started from yesterday/start something all together new and different/call a friend/make a difference in ones own life or a life of another....draw clos...

Just a sweet summers day at the Lake. I live in the mountains with a wonderful view~~ however, I do so enjoy being by the waters edge....don’t you? There is just something about watching the sunlight dance upon the surface of the water and skip upon the ripples...that causes one to be mesmerized and even somewhat transported mentally to a calmer, quieter, peace filled sanctuary of  reflective private  thought.   All the while, moments of time seem to stall, perhaps even pause for the sake of our momentary respite from life’s demands, and concerns. Oh, the insights one can gleam from being on the water’s edge for even so brief a time. Quiet now, Oh my heart, till once again we  return to waters edge for respite of heart and peace of soul.
