Morning Reflections
Welcomed by Wings…
There are mornings that quietly remind you just how beautiful life can be.
As I stepped onto the pier today, the birds came flying toward me like old friends. The moon still lingered faintly above, refusing to let go of the night while the sun welcomed a brand new day. It’s one of my favorite moments, watching the sky hold both at once.
Before long, Pegleg came over to say good morning, and the pigeons lined up on the railing, patiently waiting for breakfast. Those simple moments never lose their magic.
Then I looked down and saw Moo smiling up at me. It’s impossible not to smile back.
A boat raced across the calm water while, down by the shoreline, a snowy egret ran along the wet sand with its perfect reflection keeping pace beside it. It felt like a gentle reminder that none of us truly walk alone. There is always something, or someone, walking beside us if we’re willing to notice.
Today’s quote couldn’t have been more fitting:
“I pray that August is filled with nothing but blessings, love, new opportunities, new experiences, prosperity, health and success.”
As I watched the birds soaring overhead and felt so much gratitude in my heart, I realized those blessings have already begun. Sometimes they arrive as grand moments, and sometimes they arrive with wings.
I’m so grateful.
Capturing beauty, sharing light.
—April
