This photo was taken on December 26…the light was shimmering on the bay and even though I was in the car (which was moving!) I wanted to capture this gift of December light.
Life is happening at top speed all around me but right now I’m the observer…or at least it feels that way. My days are filled with busyness and yet it’s the moments, the beautiful moments, that are capturing my attention; sun sparkling so brightly on the ocean that I’m momentarily blinded, dark skeletons of oak trees against the pale wintry sky, wispy fragments of smokey mist hugging dark hills, raucous seagulls welcoming me to life by the sea as they wake me with their early morning calls, written words that sit quietly in my heart like old friends that have come to say hello, even the worn and worried faces of strangers on the street..all of these moments, and more…so many more, are what capture my attention these days.
I feel awed by the beauty of winter in a way I never have before. I’m touched deeply by kindness and smiles. Words of judgment seem to bounce off without touching. It’s all a bit unreal but I’m savouring it. I’m loving it. I’m soaking it all in. It may just be a temporary condition or it may here to stay, but right here, right now, I’m so very grateful for this bliss!
My days are filled with the glow of ordinary things that are extraordinary.
Blissful blessings to all of you.
