Saturday Sunrise

Good morning World! I'm up before the proverbial "crack of dawn" with my first cup of coffee and a toasted scone (homemade, of course!), and the birds are chirping away to announce the day. I love the sound of birds. They are a symphony to my ears, and they inspire a sense of peace and calm that no other sound in the city can effect.

I've been working more slowly on my next piece - in between extreme bouts of fatigue and headache. I think I had a "bug" this last week that temporarily knocked the daylights out of me. I'm feeling much better this morning, and ever so appreciative of the times I'm healthy and energetic. It's also a wonderful feeling to be content...there's a bible passage that addresses this. I think it says that contentment with godliness is great gain...something like that. I don't know how much "godliness" I can propose to have, but I can attest to the fact that contentment is truly a great blessing. This piece is reflective of that morning peace and the contentment that follows. Oh, that I would feel that way all day...now, that's a whole other issue, which I won't get into. I'm sorry about the greyish quality to this picture. I took it early in the morning with not enough natural light. The next one will be a little brighter, in addition to being finished. I still have the background and the flower at the top right to complete.

Love & blessings,
Kate
