Normal day



Galveston in October


"Normal day,
let me be aware of the treasure you are...
Let me not pass you by
in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taught,
or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world,
your return."
~Mary Jean Iron



we are so very lucky
just to "be"


let's all appreciate today
...♥...

I wish my normal day included a water view, but it is a gorgeous fall day in the Midwest and I have no complaints. Thanks for the reminder.

great reminder. I am always in such a hurry that this comes just at the right time. i often have to force myself to slow down, when I do get some time to "just be"

BTW thanks for the bday advice, and wishes. :)
