Cheers! A new day awakens. Breathe in the freshness; take in the joy. Hail to the morning. Enjoy the sights and sounds…arise.
Let the melody of the merry birds, their twitter and tweet perk up your senses. Yes, for assuredly, the nattering and chattering of these feathered friends orchestrate a cheery welcome—an absolute, positive start to your day. So, hush. Just listen.
Slowly, soak in the serene surroundings. Observe the splendour of each new bloom; the excitement of buds, as they wait eagerly, for their petals to unfold.
See the rich foliage that envelops you from either side, the different shades of green. Look how the small bushes and tall trees team together to form a pretty sight. Your eyes crinkle as the sun rises, its rays shining, dancing, prancing and reflecting off from all the leaves—sycamore, oak, beech, horse chestnut—what a delight!
Barefoot, you take a step and feel the coolness of the grass, moistened by the morning dew. Daisies and buttercups grow sweetly on the green, as ladybirds and grasshoppers rest awhile amongst the perennial herbaceous dandelions…their seeds dispersing in the wind.
The breeze adds an extra special crispness to the air. It refreshes the soul. It arouses the senses. Blood rushes in your veins, urging you to act, compelling you to accomplish. You take a deep breath. Invigorated. Exhilarated. Inspired. Bold.
And as you turn to go indoors, you catch a glimpse of a butterfly fluttering nearby…as if to sprinkle happy blessings of encouragement and determination to your day.
Whilst, overhead, the clouds sail by, bowing in reverence to your strength, courage, fortitude and your positive spirit. With a head held high, and a dream in your heart, you are ready to face the challenge of a new day. Smile. Walk tall. And be happy.
Cheers, enjoy the beauty of the day…and God speed.

This is a great post to keep in mind. Because when I step outside I see the plants that need deadheading, those in need of water, weeds to be pulled and which plants need fertilizing. I must remember to notice the beauty of the season and all that it brings.

That all sounds very nice, but I’m such a pessimist. My day goes: I step outside, it’s too warm and the sun’s too bright, I look at a pretty flower, until a bee comes out, and then I run from the bee, and then I get a sunburn. Hee hee, I’m much more an indoor person. I should appreciate the outdoors more, though. The problem is nature is missing TV and computers. Darn nature.
