Focus on Life: Week 32 ~ From where I stand...

Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime is hosting a year long challenge which is... sublime... as you'd expect with such a studio name. The challenge is named 'Focusing on Life' and every week Sally is sending a prompt on what should we focus the following week.

This week the prompt is 'From where I stand'... here we go :)

From where I stand...

... there is a Genesis every day: the dark turns into light and becomes a new day. Full of hopes, in a symphony of colours! For me there is little as marvelous as the sun rising from the see or up in the mountains (although I prefer the later, I would take the former any day).

... even the clouds can't stop this miracle from happening... and the colours are even more gorgeous from behind the clouds!

... there are myriads of small miracles waiting to be discovered: in a perfect shell or in a perfect idea for not one, but two collections! (on this more after we arrive home).

... life presents itself with unexpected surprises. Yesterday it was lots of small fish and interesting shells. Today it was lots of jelly fish (including *in* the water - ouch!)

... you can make unexpected friends too! In my morning walks I made friends with this white heron: he actually came to me today to give him some fish, but the sea didn't bring me any, so I couldn't make him happy (the fishermen do, though)

... and you can also transform online friends into *in real life* friends! So happy to meet Shirley (left) and Niki (middle) - funny things is that I am the tanned one, although they live at the beach.

... each day comes to an end - but it's the little miracles of the day that bring you joy. We all are gifted with miracles, we only need to look for them and discover them!
