Hello Bloggie Friends,
I have been feeling every so
slightly put upon lately. Not horribly, but just a little whiney. Not
enough time to devote to my Etsy shop. Poor me...Not enough time to
make art. Poor me...House always needs cleaning. Poor me...Summer is
going by lickety split and I feel like I haven't soaked up enough of
it. Poor me...Not enough time to do my blogging (reading or posting)...yep, you got it...POOR ME!
So today, I was walking to work on a particularly lovely summer day here in Colorado. I'm lucky that I get to be close enough to walk to work, especially on a perfect sunny day, not too hot, not too cold, but like Goldilocks said, "just right". As I walked, I passed all of these gorgeous flowers on my way and had to catch a shot with my cell phone. That's pretty awesome. I also ran into 2 neighbor friends and got to exchange a few words with these lovely ladies on my way. That made me smile.
When I got to work, I passed by a couple of our beautiful statues at the hospital. Pardon the glass glare as they had to be encased to protect them from vandals (UGH!). Glass and all, I find them so beautiful and serene. Hard to be in a bad mood when looking at these precious, almost life sized figures.
Playing with my phone editing. Not too bad for a quick effect...
The color of the Madonna's cloak is just the same as the robin eggs we have in a nest out in our hanging geranium plant on my back porch. LOVE it!
When I got to work, I opened up my office and was greeted by the roses I'd brought in the day before. They smelled SOOOO good.
How can you not smile with these pretty faces looking up at you?
By the time I put my purse down and got ready to get busy, I was feeling pretty darn happy and blessed. All of this attitude enhancing goodness AND did I mention that I got to work right on time? No more "poor me's" for this girl. I'll get to the stuff I need to do when I get to it. It will get done, even if not as soon as I would like.
All in all, I'd say I had a great start to my day and the rest of the day was not too shabby either. I hope you take the time to notice the goodness all around you. It'll change your life...or at least your day!
Until next time,
