A bit of morning musing

Good morning Friends and Readers! I woke up bright and early this morning to sit on my sofa while my baby ate his breakfast and watched the sunrise. How wonderful this was! You get a whole new perspective on the world when you are able to quietly sit and watch the blue sky gently go from the dark rich midnight blue to the soft cornflower blue one only sees in summer skies.

As I sat there this morning, one of the thoughts going through my mind was how life is so often like those early morning sunrises...

Things are dark, we cannot see anything, and we are waiting for the sun to come up. Then what was dark and shadowy starts to be illuminated. Quietly at first, just a few less shadows, a few crisper outlines. Then all of a sudden everything is bright and we can see exactly what was hiding in the dark.

How many of us have found ourselves in the dark just before dawn, where we couldn't see anything. We can only imagine what is out there around us because we cannot see a thing... then the sun begins it's slow rise into the sky... we start to see shadows and shapes of what is really happening in our lives. And then as the sun crests the mountain top, we can see everything.

I feel like my life right at this moment is in those first few moments before the sun actually illuminates everything. The darkness has been lightened, I can see things around me, but it isn't yet totally visable... I know it will be soon, when I can see what it has been that has been going on in the dark around me.

And so...

I am now off to get spend time with my family on this most wonderful BRIGHT and CHEERFUL Tuesday morning! We have crafts to do, a new toybox to get filled up, and lots of fun things to do! See you all again soon!
