Morning Reflections


Ten-Fold Joy…

How lucky are we that we get to wake up into a whole new day—every single day? There’s always something beautiful in it, if you look for it. I love my mornings at the pier. And so do the birds. Every day, their personalities shine through more and more. Domino always makes sure she’s known—bold, confident, the spark that started it all. Honey Girl settles on my shoulder, soft and cooing, like she’s found her place. Clubby balances on my phone with her one foot, steady and radiant. The pelicans glide in, and I’m always mesmerized by their grace. And just as I was leaving, Pegleg flew down to greet me—his way of saying, I see you. When we put time and attention into anything, it comes back ten-fold. Life is beautiful. I am grateful.


Morning Gratitude Thought:

Grateful for Domino’s boldness, Honey Girl’s gentle perch, Clubby’s brave balance, pelicans in flight, and Pegleg’s parting hello. Grateful for the beauty that returns when we show up with love.
