Welcoming

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. This is the last day of sunshine before the winter rains set in for the next week. Rain or shine it is our day to do as we wish. My capture is from my friends garden. The pumpkins have been harvested, but the scarecrow still stands guard over the garden. It is a welcoming sight as we come and go each day. Look for the simple pleasures in life. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Beauty in Life

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. Blue skies and chilly temperatures greet me as I breathe in the new day. Temperatures here are better than my buddies and family in Alabama. At least it only last a few days. My capture is of some Chinese Lantern plants that a friend brought into the office. They are just the cutest and the color is so vibrant. They are sure to make you smile. Look for the beauty in life and be sure to pass it on whenever you get the chance. We all need each other. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Loved

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. A chilly breeze rustles the bushes and the fragrance from my trumpet tree drifts to greet me. It is such a heavenly smell. God’s messengers of love and hope surround us each day. Sometimes it is a flower, a friend, a sunrise or sunset that shows us we are loved. Never doubt that you are loved. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Lighter Side

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. Another work week begins and time moves on. My capture is from this weekend. This statue graced the front of a barber shop in Troutdale. It was a delight for everyone. Looking at the lighter side of life opens your heart to all the possibilities of the new day. Shine God’s light to all you see. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Life Is Short

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. It has been a good weekend and I still have today to get a little more sewing done. My capture is the sunset last night. Color filled the sky announcing the glory of the heavens. It was an amazing end to a beautiful day. Hold your loved ones close. Life is short and the only true treasures are the people you love and stand beside you. They are God’s gifts. Cherish them and never take them for granted. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Good Friends

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits.  Another day dawns and I am blessed to share my thoughts with Y’all.  My Friday adventure was to Gresham and Sandy, Oregon. We visited a cute quilt shop in Troutdale and then ate at an Italian restaurant nearby.  My shrimp Alfredo was yummy. After a stop at another store and Goodwill, we headed home the back way. I have never seen the backside of Mt. Hood. It was beautiful,  but not as beautiful as the side I look at every day. It was an amazing day. We rode with the windows down and the wind in our hair. Thank you, Lord,  for good friends and life. Live today.  Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Mystery

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits.  My capture is from yesterday in front of the office.  Scubby Doo  must be in town working on a case because the Mystery Van was parked outside the office. I think they were eating at Muegen Noodle next door. This little surprise lightened the mood and brought laughter to a lot of us. Look for the joy and mystery that surrounds you each day. You are loved. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Blessings

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day has dawned. Each day is a little bit cooler and a little shorter as time rolls into winter. My capture is from 3 years ago in beautiful Baldwin County, Alabama. I have been blessed to have witnessed hundreds of sunrises and sunsets throughout the years. This is one of my favorites. Make the most of each day and thank God for all your blessings great and small. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.

Positive Side

Good Morning Everyone! A beautiful new day awaits. Clear blue skies, sunshine, cool mountain air and the rooster crowing his heart out greet me as I step outside. It is going to be an amazing day. I have the aches and pains of aging, but my health is good. God has been good to me and I feel blessed and loved. Count your blessings and look for the positive side of life. Sometimes it feels that the negative takes over our lives. It is important to place your burdens in God hands and let Him carry the load. Open your heart and shine His light. Share Your Heart ❤️ And Shine Bright.
