I’ve been contemplating the thought that nature makes music, if you take time to listen…

reminded me of early mornings when I hear the birds outside… in the spring, summer and fall, I listen to the water flowing into the pond and the great variety of singing going on as the birds welcome the new day…

the geese, the rain, the wind… the quiet after the snow falls…

so much to listen to…

this morning I started a new activity…

for each of the next 24 days I am going to read and think on one of the cards that I received last year for Advent…

I really enjoyed the process then and am looking forward to this time of reflection each day…

I am going to start each day with a time of looking at the artwork and contemplating the quote on the back…

today I was thinking about how much sunshine can affect my mood and feeling of well-being… when the sun is shining everything seems more upbeat and positive…

where I live, we used to have a lot more sunny days… they are particularly helpful during the cold winter months, as even the cold seems more bearable in sunlight and blue skies…

I was reading some data which showed we averaged 51% sunny days between 1981 and 2010… for the past few years we have noticed that there is less sunshine that’s there used to be…

this morning, as I look out the window, the sky is blue… gonna be a good day😊…
