A Bit of Space
I almost missed this sunset right outside my window because I was so busy looking for other things in other places. Had I noticed a little sooner, I might have gotten a better shot or at least had a longer look. But sometimes you simply take what you can get and are grateful for that much. I’m learning that if I just give gratitude a bit of space, it has a way of growing itself in my life.

Gratitude reins here too this Sunday afternoon. A flood of red light from my bedroom window made it look like the woods were ablaze at sunrise. I got up just in time to see the glorious sky. It didn’t last long, but oh, it was superb.

How many things do we miss because we’re looking for other things in other places? I’m always grateful for the sunsets and sunrises, and somedays want to send out a “Sunset Alert” when the colors are truly stunning. I want to shout at all the cars just passing by, “Don’t you see what’s there up in the sky?” But then, they’re probably in a hurry, or maybe they see things I don’t. I’m just grateful to have this time in my life where I can slow down and bathe in the sunsets.

Kathleen, what a gorgeous sunset. Whatever you missed your memory will hold. What you have shared is stunning. The past few days, as I’ve been doing some art, I’ve been prompting myself to love the imperfections. Sometimes I can’t. But when I can loosen up, much fun can happen with the pen and the paper and colors! And, oh, yes, how I do have to remind myself to practice gratitude. It surely lightens the heart.
