Today's Inspiration

I wake up early everyday. I mean early as in wee hours around (gulp) 4 am. I don't jump out of bed mind you, it's more of a period of contemplation, planning and considering my options. Oh sure, I have to filter out the ruminations of the previous day and I'm not always successful especially when it comes to forgetting about what went wrong; but eventually I get to the present day's activities.

I felt lucky today which is inspiration in and of itself. As sunrise began, coffee made, I check the weather and notice the sky looks particularly gorgeous even though dawn is just beginning--I think a new day, a fresh start. DH is out of town sweltering in the desert of southern NM and a decision is made to share this mornings beauty with him. Camera in hand, I poke my head out and think, you're in your nightie for the love of God. Too bad.

The header photo today was taken this morning from the deck outside my bedroom. The sun is actually rising behind me and my camera is pointing to the west; the colors reflecting the sunrise are beautiful and you can even see last night's full moon beginning it's decent behind the foothills of the Rockies. Inspiration found.

My day will not be without it's problems but I am ever mindful that whatever today's challenges I have started out inspired, and therefore accountable to make the very most of  my day. Fingers crossed that I do a good job. Heartfelt thanks for stopping by for a visit, you too are my inspiration.
