Soak up the sun . . .

"I"m gonna soak up the sun

while it's still free

I'm gonna soak up the sun

before it goes out on me."

-Soak up the Sun (by Cheryl Crow)

It seems lately, all the sun does is go out under the cloud cover.

And it's certainly not been the shining star (get it) of the sunrise these days either. :)

So I had to go back a few months, to last year really, 

for a sunrise where the sun wasn't so shy, or lost.

I've heard rumors that people like to wake up to Folgers in their cups,

me, I like to wake up to sunshine in my day....everyday.

And at least, when the sun can't get around all that cloud cover, there is always the blanket flower to act as an understudy!

Hope this finds you in a sun shiny day (we have a 10 day forecast of mostly rain),

*P.S. -  I almost forgot, I am over at Focusing on Life today musing about our {Flower Theme}. We are like flowers....Music of the Earth.

I have a 'Pocketful of Sunshine' . . .

"Take me away, a secret place

A sweet escape, take me away . . . "

- Pocketful of Sunshine , Natasha Bedingfield

Yep, this space...

feels like a secret place, early upon the dawn

at the first sign of life

when the darkness turns to light,

and out of blindness comes sight.

As you are reading this,

I AM here,

with friends,

braving the cold

not just because I can

but because I have to

this place IS my stillness

my peace

my calm...

my sweet escape from the chaos of life

my center in the unevenness

in this space everything is right

everything is good, and sooo many possibilities exist

{KK 411 & 99}

THIS, is my pocketful of sunshine

that I carry around in my soul.

So thankful for this!

Love, Kim
