solace...part of a new collaboration

morning roses
some people dread waking in the morning
have to pull themselves from bed

for me no matter what
the new day brings comfort

at one time in my life
I wondered why do the days keep coming
'don't they know it's the end of the world'

but the days kept coming
and in them
I realized God in His wisdom
God in His love
has given us
graced us
with each and every day

and even if I'm having difficult days

a morning walk
eases me back into the land of the living

and I am ever so grateful
to wake
to walk
to notice the beauty of this day

With a beautiful photo like that, you could talk me into walking~but later in the year when it's cooler.
Lovely!

Blessings,
Janis

i like the dabbled light in the background. Thanks to for the reminder of the benefits of a morning walk. I need to do that once again!

Well, from the time difference, I assume you are at least somewhere east of me. Your comment was so funny! Eating dinner for breakfast. My young men eat Pizza for breakfast sometimes. And I know that an omelet and even pancakes (I've heard) make a great breakfast for dinner turnaround!
But I'm in Arizona, and I had my recipe post scheduled to publish a little past midnight our time (PST).
Where are you? It's been fun meeting.
Blessings,
Janis
