The Upper Mississippi River is quietly making its way South this morning
without the usual robust urgency that seems to always be just below the
surface of the Northern beginnings of the great Father
of Waters. The sky is cloudy this morning and the air is cool, almost
Fall like, and refreshing after the extreme heat that most of the
Midwest, South and SouthWest has been living with for months on end. As
I reflect on my life, as I tend to do every morning when I sit and have
my coffee in the early hours of a new day, I do the reflection thing
because I don't want to just let a day slip away without wringing every
bit of awareness out of it with the colors, sounds, tastes and aromas
that bless our lives every day. As I write this the sun, coming up and
coloring the clouds is just breathtaking. Why would anyone want to lie
in bed and miss early morning sunrises? I wish for you, this
morning, a beautiful sunrise, wherever you are, with the hope of a new
day of cool breezes, bird choruses, closeness of family and a thankful
heart. God bless us all. -Stan
