Each New Day is a Gift and There are Treasures to Be Discovered!

Every morning is a gift and I so enjoy the still and calm of the early morning. Each am I love to take a walk about our yard with our dogs and check our gardens to see if there are any new treasures to be discovered. Today I discovered more beautiful white lillies and had to bring a few in to add to the bouquet that I brought in yesterday. The white lilly pops in the vase along with the star gazer lillies.

Take time each day to explore and enjoy the many treasures that are there for you. All you have to do is become aware.

Judith what a great way to start each day. My mother used to remind me to stop and smell the roses.

Treasure the moments. I like to take early morning photowalks to get a little exercise and to photograph the flowers in our neighborhood.

I agree Judith! I appreciate the quiet time before anyone else is awake, watching the sunrise, taking the dogs out for an early walk, hearing the birds chirp. So many gifts if we just look around

Good evening Debbie ... how much we would miss if we focused on the negative and constantly complained. One must choose to enjoy.

Hi Debbie ... flowers definitely brighten a day as well as a room. My mother is thrilled when I bring flowers in from the gardens. So nice to add to her day.

Share some pictures of the flowers you see on those morning walks. The early moring light is ideal for flower photography.

Judith I have always enjoyed 'smelling the roses' but never realized until I moved to Colorado that it a way of life. Great pic and enjoy every minute of your day.

Thanks for commenting on my blog!

I just finished reading the book "Unbroken" about WW2 hero Louis Zamperini. This was a well-written book by Laura Hillenbrand, who wrote it over 7 years about the amazing life of Zamerini, about family, love, loyalty, skill, blessings, success, grace, torture, hate, fever, starvation, dying, fear, anger, failure, frustration, agony, being alone, friendship, and finally finding faith in God, forgiveness, redemption, and leading a joyful life.

Good morning Harrison ... "Unbroken" sounds like a marvelous book and after the many tribulations finding faith in God and leading a joyful life as the outcome ... perfect. Have a great day!
