The Magnificent Murmurings of Morning

Yesterday morning, in the midst of my busy rush to get 3 kids out the door to school, to feed and walk a dog, to get myself to the the gym and then to work, I had to take a pause.

It had been days of murky, choking grayness. Days of bleak winter misery.

But out of the darkness, came the light, the sun was rising and painting my day, giving me the gift of color that I had longed for. No, the sky wasn't painted blue and the day turned out to be gray, but in the morning, God sent me some hope, some beauty, some much needed light.

When you don't see this often, you appreciate the heck out of it when you do.

It started my day with a smile and for this hidden treasure and gift from my Father, I was thankful.

Sometimes you need to take a pause, to enjoy, to reflect and to choose gratitude.

Hope you see some hidden beauty and treasures today!
@shesnapped Your hidden treasures theme is rather hard, but I think this works, no? Or is it yes? This was the treasure of my day! Gosh I love to see the light!

@pistache @jocasta Thanks ladies. TT occurances are few and far between, but it's still nice when it happens. It's strange how when you've been here awhile how your friends still around diminish. It's an ebb and flow. Happy weekend and thanks!!
