Good Morning Peeps!
This early Saturday morning here in Nashville it is already feeling warm and muggy.......but yet....it is still a beautiful and welcoming start to a new day.
Earlier....right before the sun was going to rise...I walked Stretch to the dog park and while I was letting her run....I sat on the bench and watched the light start breaking through the darkness of the skyline. It was a very relaxing moment because all was peaceful and quiet. It was just me and Stretch and the awakening of the morning sky. Honestly...it's one of those moments that seem to burn in the most wonderful way all through my soul.
Soon after....we headed back to the Haven....I fed everybody...including refilling the bird feeder. Then I finally sat down to my first cup of Hazelnut coffee. Picking up my cup to take a sip I was feeling warm thoughts of gratitude for everything in my Life! See...with everything that's been going on over the last month...I have had a lot of time to think about everything. Believe you me...when you have nothing but time on your hands...it happens...whether you want it to or not!
Honestly it is a good thing...I have nothing but time on my hands to let everything free flow through my mind...leaving me with new perspectives and perceptions of my Life! A chance to think about the things that have happened and the opportunity to think about things I would like to do in my Lifetime! Trust me when I say.....I welcomed the time to soul search. I think we all need to do this from time to time...just to make sure we are balanced out and heading into the right direction. Plus it's a way to humbly show gratitude for all the blessings that have poured down like rain every waking moment since birth till this moment in time.
I'm no body special.... I'm just a woman who is doing the best that I can one day at a time. Each step I take is one of new discoveries, new Adventures, Life challenges and some success's.
I am by no means a perfect person....but I do know this.....I am Me....
This Life that was a gift given is a treasure that has more value than any monetary thing this world has to offer. The people that surround me are beautiful souls that enhance who I am by inspiring me to be a better person and helping me to remember that Love is the common bond that ties all of us together. We were all created because of Love! What an empowering thought that Love can have the strength conquer all if we all believed in the power of Love.
I guess love is where my Silver Lining lays this early Saturday morning. Love is everywhere....in us....in the trees, in the sky...in the birds....in the good deed that when unseen, in the laugh of a child, a smile on the face of someone who you haven't seen in awhile, when groups of people break down barriers and come to together with a simple hug, and simply knowing that Love is in my heart for all these things and more......that my Peeps is a glowing light of hope and Silver Lining to kick start the day.
Remember that it is all about perspective and Perception! What we choose to see and believe determines how open our heart and mind will be.... it all begins with you and me.
Peeps have an awesome day and I will catch you on the flipside!
