Happy Friday!  This is one of those weeks that felt like it would never end.   I had just pulled on my pajama pants this evening and had a moment of near panic that I didn’t take a picture today.  I quickly remembered this morning’s gorgeous sunrise and the few pictures I snapped in my sleep deprived daze. #365project #photoaday Cheers to no alarm clock on Saturday!

This isn’t a year end wrap up. This is a I am so completely, bone tired exhausted, I’m happy this year is at an end.

I told you before I’d been posting happy quotes on the boards at work. The one I posted yesterday was

Celebrate endings – for they proceed new beginnings

Here are a collection of pictures I snapped the last couple of days to see the old year off.

oops… wasn’t paying close enough attention and went a little heavy on the garam masala

 

I was so tired this morning Coe almost had raisin bran for her breakfast

 

a beautiful sunrise to start the day

 

I love the sight of naked trees. So crisp against the cold blue sky.

 

A sunset to see the day off

Cheers to a great new year! 🍾🎉

It’s hard to have a bad day when this is the beauty that greets you and guides you in to work.  IMG_6334

Sitting in traffic made tolerable when I get to watch the sun rise.  I’ve tried several times to capture the glorious-ness of it, but sadly the iphone just isn’t worthy.

Inspiration…

This post has been in my head for awhile and its taken 3 days off work for me to get around to it.

The thing I have found most startling about this move is I’ve lost my “voice”. I have a hard time crafting the words and find the rhythm of writing I once had. I may have mentioned this before, I’m not sure.

The thing that I have enjoyed most about my move is having a closer connection to nature. When I walk out my door, I’m in 120 acres of dog heaven wilderness.  Every morning Coe and I do about a mile while I drink my coffee and wake up. In the afternoon, depending on the weather, the heat, and our creaky joints, we do another lap, usually a bit longer.

I find sanity and serenity in these moments.  I also find tremendous inspiration.  I enjoy the sounds of crickets, frogs, birds, and cicadas all in some whirlwind of harmony. I just finished the best book, recommended by my dear friend Margie. There’s a line in the book, where the female character talks about most people don’t look up during the day.  I cannot imagine not looking up and seeing the wonder that surrounds us.

I hope this inspires and reminds you to look at the world around you.

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Inspiration.”

I am so far behind…

I’ve got pictures and projects to post galore
I sit and stare at a computer until I’m bored

I’ve started a dozen posts
before I can finish, I’m toast

My brain has turned to mush
My work is turning me into a lush

How I miss my Lula Harp time
I’ve got to find a way to unwind

Until then, please know I intend
to find my way home, again

Hawthorne Bridge, morning, Mt Hood, sunrise, Willamette River

If this is the view that I get greeted with when I get to work, getting up at the ass-crack of dawn isn’t so bad!  Oh happy day!

(be sure to click to get the full size view)

I got home from getting my haircut just before 9pm and was hoping to add some pictures of the amazing moon that I saw on my drive home.  It was huge and golden.  Everywhere I turned it was there!  I drove up Mt Tabor in an attempt to get some pictures, but nothing I got captured the hugeness of the moon or the awe that it inspired.  To think that people were all tucked in for the night and missed that beautiful moon.
