Morning Reflections
Whatever the Day Brings…
The ocean was calm this morning, stretched out beneath a sky painted with soft clouds and patches of blue. Low tide left a ribbon of reflections along the shoreline, turning the beach into a mirror.
The pigeons were already lined up on the railing when I arrived, as if they were waiting for the day to officially begin. One by one they took to the sky, flying toward me with that familiar excitement that never gets old. No matter how many times it happens, it still feels like a gift.
Pegleg came out to greet me, making sure I knew he was there. Seeing him always makes me smile. Overhead, Adonis sat high on his light post, keeping watch over everything below.
Standing there with the waves rolling in and my feathered friends all around me, I found myself returning to the same simple thought:
“Thank you for this day, whatever it brings. Thank you.”
Some days arrive wrapped in sunshine. Some arrive carrying challenges. Either way, gratitude helps me meet them with an open heart.
Today, I am grateful for low tides, flying wings, familiar faces, and another beautiful morning by the sea.
Capturing beauty, sharing light.
—April
