“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain.”
Yesterday’s weather seemed to be echoing my mind. Starting with a bursting sunrise, to patches of cloudiness, to brilliant rainbows, to some thunder, to rest in a picture perfect sunset (unusual for our location). Life truly is best understood seeing how the clouds interact with the sunshine.
“Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, filling it with a steady and perpetual serenity”
~ Joseph Addison
After a week of strong trade winds, this morning’s serenity was a welcome return. Have a cheerful Saturday everyone!
I just love red dawns! Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning? But for this gal, red dawns are the sign of a day filled with love and joy. So I’m going to let my heart energy shine bright today! I hope you do too !!
We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”

The weather channel said it was supposed to get down to 59 degrees here last night. Well, it didn’t get THAT cold. 57 degrees is our all time record low here, which is highly unusual (with 99 being the record high). But it was quite chilly this morning, as I woke up with both cats huddled up next to me. And I loved it 🙂
And here I am … Just showing up … Enjoying the fresh tradewinds, waiting with anticipation, to see whether or not I’d capture another sunrise. Thanks Spencer Dickey for believing in me, and taking this photo behind my back LOL!!
I was just about certain there wasn’t going to be a sunrise this morning, but I showed up anyway! Today’s sunrise is such a metaphor for life …

Who should be blamed when a leaf falls from a tree?
Is it the Wind that blew it away?
Or Is it the tree that let it go?
Or Is it the leaf who grew tired holding on?
Life unfolds a lot of misunderstandings … Everyday … Every moment …
Its up to us to:
Solve it. Or Leave it. Or Live with it.

Belated Christmas winds are honking this morning, steady 20-25mph. So refreshing! And so many beautiful quotes on the wind, it was hard to pick just one!! But my RAK post to follow has to do with letting things be, living with and accepting what is at the moment …
“I have always been delighted at the promise of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.”
~ J. B. Priestley
It was a glorious sunrise this morning, with this being the first shot I took. Something inside me was saying … it may seem like it’s going to be partly cloudy, but choose to bask in the partly sunny side of life today. It’s a new day, with a fresh start! And I’m feeling great!! I hope you are too!! Taking today to take down Christmas, and clean house. Just the beginnings of a fresh start to a new year … What can you do today to clean house, and begin anew?
