Red Clouds Over Rooftops

“Beauty is the illumination of your Soul.”
― John O'Donohue
I was glad to have woken early this morning. I rarely see the sky at this time of day and if I do, it is through bleary eyes and a morning cup of coffee as I rise and get ready for a day of work ahead. I felt so appreciative of the handiwork of the artist who had painted such a breathtaking morning scene, and my window was the perfect frame for it. I raised my hands in gratitude for another day, and snapped a photograph to remember. My Special Thanksgiving post will be up tomorrow, but this is my personal thanksgiving. Thank you for beauty, for love, for compassion, for friendship, for the angels who try to make this world a better place to live, for the lives of those dear to me, who are still breathing, loving and laughing. Thank you to the One who is Love, Compassion and Grace.

There is such beauty in the inception of a new day. I live down the coast from you a bit and have a similar view. Thank you for visiting my blog. The weekend spent with Flora and other artists lights my days and inspires new works. Your blog is a delight. I look forward to seeing more of it.
