“Paint the Light!”

“Paint the light!”  That was a  line near the end of an old Hallmark Christmas movie I recently watched.    The character was a famous painter whose wife had passed long ago (of course!) and he had spent his later years mourning her loss.  When the neighbor comes by on Christmas Eve to wish him Merry Christmas, he suddenly realizes what he’s been missing all these years.  Cheesy yes, but it did strike a chord with me.

As I took the dog out for an early walk this morning, the sky was just beginning to show signs of light and hints of pinks and purples. Over the course of a few moments, the colors began to darken as the sky began to lighten.  It is an amazing world we live in where we can watch the light being painted before our very eyes! What a gift and blessing we receive from God EVERY MORNING!  Yet often we fail to see it because we are so focused on mourning the things we don’t have in our lives.

This is not likely a new message to anyone taking time to read this post. But it is a reminder that when we focus on our blessings, they unfold before our very eyes and life just gets a little bit sweeter!  Just a Simple Day full of blessing! Namaste!
