New Day

A brand new day and right this minute the sun is coming up in the eastern sky and the clouds have disappeared, at least for the moment. Yesterday I watched cloud formations, the like I have never seen before. Talk about awesome beauty. They were thick and gray and filled the sky but with them were puffs of wispy white fluffy balls which reminded me of the fish in the sea. Many times I equate clouds with the ocean waves or a high mountain chain when nature reflects the surrounding scenes of earth in the huge sky. A silent artist painting pictures for us to enjoy. I particularly love the change of colors in our skies from a sun rise to a sun set and when the dark clouds pass us by and leave the shades that create the rainbows.

"Shades and Shadows . . . colors bright, Aah, Good Lord, thank you for such light;
Be it shades of red in morn or night, warning sailors of their plight;
Or shades of yellows, bronze and greens along with purple and magenta scenes.
Rolling shades of gray and black, streaks and flashes of jagged light;
pouring, teeming, dancing rain set prisms in a rainbow sky
a bountiful gift of God's eye.


So today you have a brand new day to contend with....what are you going to do with it? Something special, I hope. Don't forget to light a candle for all 'needs' not 'wants', remember our military in your prayers, along with the desperate trying to survive. Rise above the mundane and reach for being 'almost' perfect . . . like me (smile!) . . . I wish to be good, even better, but it is a long hard road to follow. So . . . do your best and enjoy today. Hugs to all.
