color, sight, memories

1.  Color.  I'm looking out my work window right now.  This morning started grey and dark.  Now I see blue.  Like a paintbrush was just dragged across the whole sky.  We are so blessed with color.  Look around.  Just looking around my desk...yellow...pink...red, and the most colorful thing of all:  A painting of vased flowers that reads "I love you Mom".  I have to say my children have given me more color than any other endeavor in all of my life.  Color me grateful.

2.  Sight.  Please see above.  I talk to people often who have lost their sight or are losing their sight.  I honor the gift of my sight today and realize that it could potentially be taken at any time.  Today I will be grateful for it as I open and shut my eyes, 99.99% of the time unaware of this miracle.

3.  Memories.  Not always pleasant, but nonetheless, these made me who I am.  The bad ones make me stronger.  The good ones make life sweet.   I treasure them all and honor them all for shaping who I am.
