I had one of those mornings recently and I had a thought...why can't we always wake up like that? How come we don't always wake up ready to take on the world and all that it throws at us?
All too often we let things get us down. We allow the little disturbances of day to day life muddle our path and steal our light, even though there is still so much to be grateful for. Sometimes if we take a step away from the hustle of "normal" life it's easier to remind ourselves of all that we have to be thankful for...
My favorite place to do this is outdoors. I love to immerse myself in the beauty of His creations and close my eyes as I take it all in. The sunshine warming my face, the wind making music with the leaves, the birds chatting away...
I had a couple of opportunities to do just that this weekend and I am starting off the week feeling refreshed. I'm back to feeling like all of these crazy dreams are maybe not so crazy after all. That maybe if we keep trying as hard as we've been trying all of the walls that we feel are up against us right now can come crumbling down...
What about you? Did you take some time to unwind and unplug this weekend? Are you feeling refreshed enough to take on your dreams this week? I hope so.
this is...BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a wonderful thing to read on a Monday morning!

I definitely love to bask in God's beautiful glory outside, too! It's a feeling that cannot be put into words :)
Thanks for the inspiration, girl!

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful reminder to

Sometimes that is all we need to remind us of our callings and God's "very present" presence in our lives.
Thank you for sharing.
And reminding.

I really wanted to unwind & unplug this weekend, but turns out I didn't actually do it well. And today I'm feeling it.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to unplug tonight. I need some mental rest.
(and beautiful pictures!!)
This hits home with me! I've been feeling run down lately and yesterday I got out for a mini photo date with my hubs. It really brightened my spirits! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, sweet girl. I love all the pictures, and of course the words that go along with them.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. I often have mornings like that... but typically they crash and burn by around 2 PM. Then I just want to take a nap. Ha! :P
I kind of had a morning like this yesterday. I have been going into work earlier and earlier so that when we move, I can get used to it and when my alarm went off before 7am I was sooo not ready for the work week. As I was driving to work and watching the sunrise I told myself I will choose joy and praise God for waking up in the first place. So even though I went to work and was on my computer all day, I found peace in the fact I was going to be happy and only I have the ability to change my attitude!
