Went out on my front porch this morning for a smoke and cup of coffee. The full moon was low in the west, Venus was exceptionally bright and low in the east, and dawn was breaking.
I stayed on the porch watching this heavenly light show for nearly an hour. Along with it I watched neighbors going to work, kids going to school, robins building a nest in my front yard, three huge flights of Canadian geese at high altitude, fog rising off the river, and other Canadian geese flying to and from the river.
Eventually the moon set and Venus disappeared just as the sun peeked over the mountain. Never saw a star or planet hang on so long into daylight. It is gong to be a good day.
God's creation trumps the media, the politicians, the oligarchs, and even Q. All you need to do is stop, look, and listen.
Time to clean the house. My grandson is coming over for the weekend. I'll catch up on the doom and gloom of the world of politics Monday.
I too had a beautiful morning.
I awoke to the sounds of roosters, and then pitter pattered to my kitchen, started a cup of tea, and had a delicious pancake. I then took care of feeding and watering the cats, and then headed out the door for my daily usual.
Drove 5 miles away down a 2 Lane Highway to Anini Beach. I approached the water with my snorkel in hand, ready for my daily swim.
This happens to be an area that is corridor off by a reef - so the waves break a mile or two out, the water is very calm, and there are no sharks!
The highlight of my day is swimming with the sea turtles. I see them so often now, that I’ve began giving them names. Based on markings on their shells. The calming salt waters, The free flowing turtles, and the ability to exercise in God‘s beautiful nature is more than anybody could ask for.
I am grateful!
