Keeping it in the day



I look out my window on a bright sunny day,
as I hear a bird chirping glad they feel free to stay. The newly grown grass in need of a trim with the red seeds of dandelions ready for the wind. You already see blooming some  yellow flowers some call weeds yet to me seem so beautiful and vibrant that need to be. Surrounded by so tall and vibrant green leafy trees. I enjoy this blissful moment without reprieve.

Quiet and still I lay quietly here, and I think and pray about many things. Grateful each day is new and with you.  For you are what reminds me of all the joy life brings! I couldn’t have asked for better memories some with tears, and more with smiles if this isn’t a clue?

I say keep it in the day from words and wisdom from my mother.  Learn from the moments and only look back to see how far you’ve come for you are no other. Learning and growing is all part of life. Just like each season each day is nothing alike.   Cherish the moments and love with all your heart.  For you can’t do anything when you are apart.

Keep it in the day, oh yes oh yes.  This is why I know and feel so blessed. ❤️‍
