“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
~Anaïs Nin
Optimistic rays stream through the blinds and brighten and enlighten the grand Japanese maple that lives outside my bedroom window. A bright and lively Saturday morning. The day is open and the possibilities are endless!
The trees of the neighborhood bloom with the vibrant color of life. The morning sun shines upon them beckoning them to open to it’s warmth. It feels great to be alive!
The bright morning sun is a constant companion as I walk. It’s beams shoot through the boughs of green trees in thin rays of light that splatter and dapple the ground.
Reaching for the sunny skies the world is full of optimism in my eyes…..
Happy Summer!
