Small moments

This morning I was flustered! Ahh what a way to start the week, Monday mornings are not my friend! Woke with a headache, which was soon followed by the alarm clock. Wishing I didn't have to get up, I closed my eyes in hope that no one would need me this morning.
That was not to be, I had kids to feed, dress and get off to school!

One off to school and the other snuggled up on the couch watching Disney, I'm going to grab a moment! I was made a delicious cup of coffee this morning that was waiting for me next to the bed, well I knew I wouldn't be enjoying my cozzy bed again till that night, so I picked up my coffee to take down stairs.

On my way I opened the blind in my room to take a peek at the day. Holding my breath to see blue skies, I saw so much more! The blue skies were glowing with pink clouds from a lingering sunrise, the mountains crisply visable on the horison with a new dusting of pure snow and energetic birds flittering around enjoying a game of tag!

I first saw a seagull flying over the rooftops, a nice little reminder of the beach! Summer! Warmth! I could not take my eyes off of it, wondering if the longer I watch the more likely I would feel the warmth of a sunny beach day. It felt good!

Out of the corner of my eye, I was distracted by a red flutter. Wow what was that? I had never seen this bird before and now I had 3 of them sitting in the tree out of my window. Still no idea after googelling this beautiful bird for over an hour? This is my new mission, what bird did I see this morning?
I love these special small moments that help me appreciate all that is beautiful. I need to remember to stop and look every now and then. You have no idea how it will effect you!
