Goodmorning friends

Happy Thursday,

This blog is coming to you straight from my bedroom balcony. I hope this writing finds you well happy and safe.

I do plan to write more tonight, but as I sit here on my balcony I am filled with so much gratitude for this life I’m getting the privilege to live.

John and I have been undergoing challenges due to the mold and huge containment in our home. I’ve been staying many nights with my nieces because of my C-PTSD and all the chaos going on here. I will explain more, however, I need to make sure of a couple of things before I can share.

Anyway, as I sit here looking out over this incredible lake I am at peace. It’s been a long moment since I’ve been able to wake up, grab a cup of coffee and walk out onto my little balcony. I’m still in my PJ’s. I can’t even imagine being anywhere else. This is home despite all the chaos going on downstairs.

Below are some photos of my beautiful view:

While I sit here in the calm and quiet of the lake I can hear in the background the hardened leaves falling through the roughness of the branches as they make their way to the ground below. I’ve never heard this sound before. I’ve never sat and watched the leaves fall. The weather is changing and fall doesn’t seem too far away.

Birds are singing and fluttering by. My two little hummingbirds are back. The woodpecker is pecking away and every time I try and capture his photo, he flies away. Silly bird, I just want to share you with the world. One photo please.

Isn’t he beautiful? I wish I could share with you a photo of him in flight, but he is too stubborn and won’t let me get one.

Below are the little hummingbirds that frequent my balcony. They bring me so much joy and happiness. I am just in awe of how fast their wings move. How they play with one another. I especially love how they tease me when it comes time to getting their pictures taken.

God sure gives us blessings in His creations and today, He reminded me of many of his gifts to us. To me. I am thankful and I needed this calm and He knew my needs.

Below are the little hummingbirds:

I love this next one. I feel like the bird on the feeder is telling the other one, go away:

Check out the tail feathers. Aren’t they incredible!

And then there was one:

I am so thankful that He has given me the opportunity to feed these amazing creatures. I’m grateful for the time I am allowed to watch them. It’s a good day.

Well guys, I need to get going. I’ll try and check in later. Enjoy your day and don’t forget, until next time. Love Life++ Hugs.
