Pictures of the Day and A Thought Or Two
I don't know why I wanted to take a picture of this leaf. I guess I liked the contrast of colors and how it was still holding some water from yesterday's storm.
I'm enjoying taking pictures more than I expected.
I liked this because of the contrast between dark and light.
These trees surround my lane. Today I took the time to really notice how tall some of the trees really are.
Taking the time to take pictures makes me take the time to notice life around me. I think it's a good way to get closer to God because I see God in nature.
As you can tell the weather today is beautiful. The humidity is completely gone and it's a comfortable 77 degrees.
My morning AA meeting was awesome even though it was small, everyone is still in Ocean City. I like small meetings though, it's easier to share and connect.
I started working on my snowmen Christmas ornaments, I was working on them while my father was ill and I haven't had the heart to pull them back out until now. My father was a truck driver for 40 years and his handle was Snowman so I decided I would make him some Christmas ornaments. It was not to be though and now I will make them in his memory for my tree.
All in all it's been a nice, peaceful day.
Beautiful! I like the leaf. Nice :)

I find both taking pictures and doing art work/crafts to be very healing. What a great way to honor your father!

We can't ask for much more than a start with AA, then a "peaceful day". Guess it means less stress!
I like those kinds of days....

those are cool photos. it's amazing the things one notices with a lens which otherwise would have passed us by...
i think is great to be making the snowman in your dad's memory. bitter sweet memories. and you sound real peaceful too. enjoy it!

i like smaller meetings too. i'm enjoying your pics of the day. reminds me i need to get some off my camera i took at the park recently and post those.
you posted 'I think the two of us are some kind of kindred spirits or something.' just wanted to say that I 'sense' that as well.
hope you are off to a good week!

Sometimes God just grabs my attention and fills me with wonder and awe - often when I'm out in nature. Sometimes I can't figure out why I'm reacting the way I am so I just say, "Thank you God for this gift".
