Sunrise

“second story snowy sunrise”
December 21, 2012

pretty pink streaks in the sunrise
the sky is the lightest blue
I do love my kitchen window view
December 13, 2012

here’s the second photograph
of this morning’s vivid glow
the luminescent color has since faded
to a muted lavender
with merest hints of gold
thank you, God, for the beauty of the sunrise
which soothes my aching soul

I didn’t take long to decide that today was goin’ to be a hang-outside-your-son’s-second-story-bedroom-window-to-take-a-picture-of-the-pink-cloud-sunrise kind of day. *serene smile and happy sigh* Good morning!

letter of reflection
Dear Sad Girl,
Your eyes have lost their sparkle.
Must be those dark circles, detracting and subtracting the twinkle from your eyes, the windows to your creative soul.
Your face is set and sullen.
That grin that once was impish, now set in a line or hangin’ inside down.
Holy hell what a mess.
I know it’s hard now, in this moment, but we’ll get you through this.
Someday soon Faith, Hope and Love will heal the wounds within.
Keep on going.
Day by day abiding.
The loving arms of friends and family will catch you when you fall.
So try to find your smile.
Savor Joy in the quiet colors of the dawn.
Pep talks are FREE and plentiful.
Hugs are often the best medicine.
Love is the easy part.
Start by being gentle with yourself.
Love,
Me

quiet pink streaks
fade to peach
in a pale blue gray sky
I watch the rising of the sun
from my kitchen window
the dishes are even done
November 17, 2012

subtle colors
quiet in tone
this morning’s sun rose
in shades of peach
warming to gold
with the palest of blue
mmmmmmm
oh, so lovely
a soothing balm
much needed
for this hurting heart
today

sunrise was spectacular
that’s two days in a row
sighing happy sighs
and thinking, “Yeah God!”
November 11, 2012

pink clouds in the sunrise
followed by a golden hue
blue sky fillin’ in
as the colorful clouds
fade to white
