Sometimes it is the still of morning that stirs longing for the day

10 minutes exposure

There are days when I see a photo and the first memory I have is one of feeling ultra creative. I am talking about bursting at the seams creativity, as if I would just explode if I could not draw, paint or write at the exact moment.

This photo brought back a day where I was sitting near this place, the sun was coming up and the feelings were so strong. I recall feeling as if life was going to go on for ever. Funny how we think we are forever when we are in our early life stages, least I felt that way.

I am glad that this is the year I celebrate my 46th birthday, this is my year. I am in a constant state of flux, and yet.... I feel more grounded, more relaxed all of a sudden. Not sure exactly what it is that made me calm down.
I do believe the color Blue does in fact calm a persons nature down though, just looking at this photograph; at the sky makes me smile and feel that finally I am coming to a good good place in my life.

Do I still miss home? Sure but now I can almost accept that life happens when it needs to , not when I want it to. It is better to grow into life, instead of barging my way through it.

I hope everyone has this feeling that the new year is actually going to be a grand one, it is a nice feeling to finally take a breather from the insanity of worry and frustration. I am growing up :-)
