Sunrise

 

Sunrise in Galveston...

 

This was taken from the deck of the summer rental, the Cat Cracker, on Galveston Island. Bermuda Beach is one of my favorite places, and watching the sun rise over the Gulf is one of my favorite pastimes.  When I am there, I can feel the tension ease out of my body.  I become relaxed and pliable.

 

Life is 50% sunsets and 50% sunrises.  You can count on it.  With every new day, things will change and what seems like a never ending season will come to an end.  As a caregiver, I have to do my best to define what helps me enjoy the sunrise and be prepared for the sunsets. 

 

Sunset can also be a time of wonder.  Sitting on the beach, watching the sun dip behind the horizon is a positive experience, too.  Joy and sorrow are often close companions, but if I am open to them, I can face whatever might come along and find that place of peace. 

 

God has given believers the Holy Spirit to help walk through the challenges of life.  If you aren't familiar with Him, look in the book of Acts and the letters Paul wrote to believers.  He is a companion who is constant and willing to meet with us in whatever position we find the sun.

 

 

I just feel a need to include a pelican.  Here is todays.
