Morning Reflections


What’s Right in Front of Us…

This morning’s sunrise reminded me to live in the moment. To rise. To shine. To notice. We get opportunities every day, but if we’re too busy looking at the wrong things, we miss what’s right in front of us. This past week, I’ve been focusing on not picking up my phone so much—not checking it every second. It was hard at first. I still feel myself reaching for it. But I feel so much better. I just want to focus on the things that make me feel good in this life—not the things that don’t. We only get so much time here. The pigeons remind me of that. They’re so happy to see me every time. Honey Girl on my shoulder, Pegleg finding me no matter what time of day—it’s like they know. Here’s to living in the moment. To appreciating all the beautiful things around us. To choosing joy, again and again.


Morning Gratitude Thought:

Grateful for sunrise reminders, for less screen time and more soul time. Grateful for Pegleg’s greeting, Honey Girl’s presence, and the pigeons’ joy that keeps me grounded in the moment.
