I'm a day late for Friday's Fave Five. It's been a good week, so I'll get right to it.
A beautiful sunrise ~ I've never been much of a morning person. Even as I get older and I am waking up earlier than ever, it's usually all I can do to grab my mug of coffee and slowly sip on it until I gradually come into consciousness. On Monday, Lilly beckoned at the backdoor to come in, and when I opened the door the glorious colors of the sky just took my breath away. Oranges and reds and streaks of purple. I stood on the back deck and just took it in, not chastising myself for missing so many sunrises, but just enjoying the one that was right there in front of me.
A beautiful life ~ Earlier this week, I attended a memorial service for my friend's mother. I never had the pleasure of meeting Roburta, but the service was so beautiful and her daughters spoke from their hearts, so that I felt like I knew her. She lived a beautiful life, accomplished many things, not the least of which was creating a home and family that radiated love. The love they all shared was palpable.
New glasses ~ It's been several years since I've had an eye exam. I went in for one on Wednesday and found my prescription has changed quite a lot. No wonder I kept wearing my current pair of glasses higher and higher on my forehead to see fine print!! 😂 I ordered two new pairs of glasses yesterday and can't wait to get them!
Dan's return home ~ Dan went out of town this week (which explains why I was up letting Lilly in at the crack of dawn Monday, and got to see that beautiful sunrise). He arrived home very late on Thursday night, and I barely heard him come in. But, it was enough to know that he was there, home again safe and sound, and I fell into a deep sleep comforted by that.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Hello. Sounds like a lovely week. I love sunrises and sunsets, and in fact saw a beautiful sunrise over the mountains this morning. Glad you hubby made it safely home. It is comforting when our "other half" is right there beside us, isn't it. Sounds like you had a very nice week, with many simple pleasures to be grateful for. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good week. Hope this one is going well for you too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your living in the moment sunrise. I would have been tempted to go grab the phone to take a pic but then would probably have missed some of it. Good little lesson in there. Another thing we share in common: not being morning people and needing those first mugs of coffee. You are my people! Congrats on seeing your new bird!
