A peaceful Sunday to all. Let's look at the start of our day.

Stress, pills and stomach is never a good mix. Rolling about in bed is not my favorite occupation and since my light stroke I am now on a handful of tablets everyday. Did I tell you that I hate pills and the side effects of these things have delivered a few complications as gifts to me. So I was up and dressed at 2am and of course I went into the garden.
No clouds today and they say that we will have a nice day at 28C.
So I waited for sunrise.

Of course it was still dark and I saw a line of geese high up.

A faint glow started to appear on the mountain top.

Which soon appeared more prominent in color.

Ah! I found the spot on the mountain where the sun would appear.

Double peaks tipped with color.

Watch the line on the peak to see the rise of the sun.

Here the line dropped lower and the sun will soon wink a "Good Morning" to me.

"Good Morning", the sun greeted the day and me.

So in the meantime while writing this post, I also had to feed a squirrel that was pestering me for a nut. Faded you can see the tail of another squirrel in the queue :)

Song lyrics; Now when the sun says good day to the mountains.., was my gran's favorite song by Virginia Lee.
The only person that ever truly loved me as a child and my world, as I knew it then, ended when she passed away.
Life has many quirks and tales and lately I find myself thinking if it's all worth it. Constant daily struggles become so tiring, but then again life is all that each of us have as a gift and we must try our best to make it count.

I grew up in a very tough life, some will say extremely tough, but I am not complaining, as it taught me kindness to myself and to all others. This has often been my undoing by advantage takers and proud people that think that they are better than others, but it has not stopped me from being kind.
Just a piece of my life story here to share with you and I know that we all have stories, many that are worse than mine.
So for now, I bid you Adieu and hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.

And That's All Friend's.
