how i start my day

morning read and write
books and notes

Keeping the morning time open for reflection. The view of the woods tempts me to sit and stare out the window even if I'm too tired to read, make notes or do art journalling.

time to reflect

Most days, I pick up a pen or ink brush and jot down notes and just play with my art.

Visiting from 52 Photos Project -
First of all, WELCOME! I hope you enjoy the challenges! :)

Secondly, I love the pic! I wish I had time to reflect in the mornings, but I can't seem to drag myself out of bed in time to do so...wait, maybe I "reflect" while still in bed...???? :)

What a lovely way to start the day! I try to ease into a day with tea, yoga/meditation, and most days some writing too. I don't rushing... LOL! ;o) ((HUGS))
I haven't visited much, but you are always in my thoughts. Sending you love and Gods blessings for Easter. I may not write much, but will never forget your beautiful words when my husband died. Carolyn/rosebud

It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
