Happy Mothers Day & Travels | Reflections On Sunrise

“No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you – life.”
~ Unknown

To both of my Moms – and all of you Mom’s out there – Happy Mother’s Day. It’s not often enough that I get a chance to tell you how much I love the both of you, the friend that you are to me, the encouraging love and light that keeps me uplifted, sharing with me in this life. I hope you have a beautiful day!!

I am headed off on vacation this afternoon. Woohoo!! David Allen says it best: “Isn’t it interesting that people feel best about themselves right before they go on vacation? They’ve cleared up all of their to-do piles, closed up transactions, renewed old promises with themselves. My most basic suggestion is that people should do that more than just once a year.”

I still have a to-do list waiting for me upon my return, and plenty of old promises, but they will wait. I spent most of yesterday updating all of my electronic gadgets – MacBook Air, iPad, iPhone, Kindle. I’m seriously tempted to leave them all at home, bringing with me only one book, nothing serious, some cheezy romance novel, like back in the olden days

So my friend, David McDermott will be house sitting and watching my kids – Gabby and Namaste the cats – while am away. Maybe he’ll be inspired to post a few sunrises, and quotes of his own, along with his morning “name that tune”

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

So it will be. I will carry the beauty of my world with me, grateful for this precious life my mother gave to me. And I look forward to sharing the beauty of the new world I’m about to discover, God willing … ❤
