Yet another beautiful sunrise! What a wonderful way to start a day, watching the sun poke it's blazing head over the horizon, sending out its warming rays of sunshine to brighten our day. This particular picture was taken from my "backyard", since we live only steps from Lake Ontario. I find it interesting, perhaps even fascinating, how the position of the sunrise moves slowly on its journey from east to west, and back, every year. That greatly affects the way I take my sunrise pictures, because throughout most of the year, I can lean out my solarium window (we don't have a balcony) and take shots of the Toronto city-line, the lake, the sailing club harbour and, of course, the sunrise. But during the winter, if I want sunrise pictures, I have to go outside...in the cold. And I don't really like the cold! But getting that perfect sunrise shot is always worth it.
And speaking of the movement of the sun, it reminds me that the world around us is forever changing. Change is what life is all about. Everything is always changing. And that reminds me of a book I read by my favourite author, Neale Donald Walsch, called "When Everything Changes, Change Everything". I found this book fascinating and related the wisdom to my own life. If you want to do the same, check out Neale's website: http://www.nealedonaldwalsch.com/index.php?p=Doc&c=changes
Many people don't like change. In fact, it's been often said that it's human nature to fight change. Perhaps that's true, but think about this: If change is inevitable (and it is), then why not go with the flow, roll with the punches, and come out on top, with a clear understanding and a feeling of peace, knowing that you're adaptable to whatever circumstance life presents you.
I love change. Sometimes it's a challenge, and I welcome it. Sometimes it's a miracle, and I welcome it. Sometimes it's a Godsend, and I welcome it.
What you resist, persists. So adapt to the changes in life. Don't fight them. Change is good.
Have a perfect day, and a perfect week!
