For a smile as wide as a country sunrise

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.
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!

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.
