and anew, so does my gratitude
renew itself daily. The breaking
of the sun over the horizon is my
grateful heart dawning upon a
blessed world. "
~Terri Guillemets
This weekend was one
filled with time to relax.
To listen to the waves
as they crashed to shore.
To walk for miles with
the warm sand caressing
my feet...
To feel and smell the
warm water of the
Atlantic...
To watch the sea birds,
porpoises, and horseshoe crabs ...
To have the sun turn
my skin just a little
too pink...
To daydream and to
just BE!
I am filled with gratitude
for this as my day's shift
from the unscheduled time
of long summer days to
planners and to do lists...
to alarms and schedules...
appointments and meetings.
It was a beautiful weekend.
I drew a name for my
giveaway. Renee,
if you can send me an
email with your address
I will send the necklace
out this week. Thank
you to everyone who
entered, I wish I could
give each of you something.
Keep an eye out as I am
already making plans for
several more giveaway's
before the end of the year.
I hope you have a Monday
that is overflowing with
love!
