Daily Pics 2020, #55.

Good Monday morning everyone!  How are you all doing on this fine day?  I know, I know, you’re thinking, “there’s that nut being happy on a Monday again”.  I can’t help it though, really.  You know, if we get up in the morning and tell ourselves it’s going to be a terrible day, then even if it’s a glorious sunny and warm morning, we’re going to have a terrible day.  But if we get up and tell ourselves, hey, this is going to be a great day, then it will be a great day.  Even if it’s a raging blizzard outside.  After all, if it was, no work today, go back to bed and sleep a couple more hours.  See?  Always a positive even in a negative.  But in truth, it starts with how we think, especially how we think when we start our day.  So why not say it’s going to be a great day?  Really, who wants a terrible day?  So why start the day thinking that way?  Get a positive look at the day instead.

And on that note, let’s get a look at some nice positive pics to get us started…

First up is this Canada goose and baby swimming along on the lake last summer, really a beautiful sight.IMG_5853

And another look at mother merganser and her little ducklings.  How can you not get a smile looking at those little critters?  They are beautiful indeed.

Well, there’s our day’s look at some nice reminders of beautiful summer days.  I hope your Monday is great and God bless!

Morning Coffee…A Poem.

Morning Coffee

Outside on a summer morn,

Watching as the day is born.

Morning coffee in my hand,

By the river I do stand.

Morning sun shines through the trees,

Not the faintest of a breeze.

Ripples in the water show

Little ducks, just watch them go!

Listen now, a thrush does sing,

Soon more birds a chorus bring.

Eagles fly high in the air

Effortless, without a care.

Squirrel comes for peanuts free,

While I sip, morning coffee.
