Morning Reflections
Surrounded by Wings and Blessings…
There is something so special about a beautiful Friday morning on the pier. The blue sky stretched above the ocean, the sun was shining, and before long, here they came. Wings flying toward me from every direction.
What a beautiful welcome I get every day. They surround me with so much excitement, and no matter how many times it happens, it never feels ordinary. There is something incredibly beautiful about being greeted by these little souls who recognize me and know exactly why I’m there.
This morning Adonis was high above the pier, and he had already caught himself a fish. Out beyond the water, ships moved slowly across the horizon while the American flag waved in the ocean breeze.
And then there was sweet Pearl, perfectly content just sunbathing in the morning light. 🤍
Of course, Honey Girl made sure I saw her. And Pegleg and Alexander weren’t about to let me leave without making sure they had my attention too. Every one of them has their own little personality, their own way of saying, “Hey, I’m here!” And I love every second of it.
The quote I carried with me this morning felt especially perfect:
“I radiate blessings.
I radiate creativity.
I radiate prosperity.
I radiate joy, love and service.”
Maybe what we send out into the world really does have a way of finding its way back to us.
This morning, it came back to me on a thousand little wings. 🕊️
Another beautiful morning. Another beautiful reminder to notice the blessings already surrounding us.
Grateful. Always.
Capturing beauty, sharing light.
