Mornings

We are pretty well settled in here. Now we wake up to bright sunshine and a view of our very, very green and leafy, and tiny, back yard. With the occasional bright, tropical blossoms the sight is a lovely welcome to the new day ... and the new year!

In Tennessee, we had been waking to our famous red sunrises, with the vista from our hillside home covering miles and miles of hills and trees and mountains, and songbirds' tunes drifting in to rouse us.

Very, very different outlooks, and yet both are heart warming and so important to me. It's impossible to be the least bit sad or depressed when your days start with such glory!
