April's Pondering

mood: thankful

dawn

woke up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee, now there's no way one can stay in bed after that smell !! so I slid out of bed and tucked myeslf into my warmest robe and slippers (the mornings are still pretty cool), poured me a biggggg cup of java and went outside to my favorite table to sit and see what the morning would have to offer .

in the midst of the dark gray gathering clouds was a small ribbon of gold, framed in the color of burgandy wine, it shone sooo bold and bright in the midst of the dark clouds , as I enjoyed the scene, I started to worder which was going to win, the gathering clouds, or the morning sun, shortly I got my answer when the eastern sky burst into a mountain of pure Gold..with all the smaller fluffy gray and white clouds all marching towards the light..it just took my breath away, all the birds were chattering non stop in the excitement of it all as well..

it was here that I started to ponder how often we take so many things for granted, and found myself so thankful that I still had the strength to be out and about, my eyesight to see all the beauty that had unfolded before me, my hearing so I might share the excitement with the neighborhood birds, and the Mind, still capable of comprehending the awsomeness of it all.. and storeing it away in my heart and mind as a beautiful memory. Yep !!!  I have sooooooo much to be thankful for..
