Sometimes that beauty is written on our hearts. I love you. I do.
Today is a #BeautifulSunday by @Ace108, where we share our day in the most possibly beautiful way that we can. Before the break of dawn, my day began, just me and my son and a half dozen strangers, although not for long, throwing a hook into the water, looking to catch something tasty for dinner. Definitely a #SublimeSunday in the making, by the Meister of my morning, @c0ff33a. I do love my @c0ff33a and he likes eclectic! A match made in heaven.
To be clear, there was no real fish, but a little bit of fun caught this morning. I can get on board with that. Some days, it is all about the connection and love being shared. Those moments of being together, laughing at nothing and everything. This moment in time, that you will never get back.
Cherish. The. Love.
When I committed to the darkness of night, throwing the fishing line into the depths of obscurity, I wasn't ready for the stars to be put away. There is something magical in the twinkling of the heavens.
Hark! I hear morning coming!
The breaking day brought the sun out to play.
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
Frederick Keonig
Somewhere
A symphony plays
The strings of my heart
Harmonizing
Nature
Music to my eyes — at the corner of harmony and melody.
I've said this before, but, when it is full and unavoidably true, it requires to be said again and again. Love makes everything so much better. I love you and you and you.
Here I stand in the disenchanted field, watching as the summer passes by me. Now I must hunt and gather the seeds as they make themselves available. Sort of makes me feel like a warrior.
Beauty in distress can be the most affecting beauty. Au Revoir, Summer! Until we meet again!
And so, because it is eclectic and true, we are going to do a random check! What is in your refrigerator? Refrigerator check! Come on! You knew it was coming! I know that potatoes are better stored out or the refrigerator, but, some of the stores have them in the refrigerated area, so when that happens, I continue the trend. To do differently had been shortening their shelf life.
I never used to like water that much. Keep with me, this is part of my Sunday too. There was a huge turning point in my relationship with water. It is so easy to infuse. I selected some citrus this week to use. There will be no scurvy in this house! Truly.
I slice my oranges, lemon, and limes thin. I find some tried and true recipes to make the infusion yummy. I have found that yummy is key. If it doesn't taste amazing, I probably won't drink as much.
I have found I really love just plain lemon infused in my water. Take the slices and put them in a drinking container and fill it with water. Sometimes I like to put all three of these citruses together or even add grapefruit instead of the orange. I have gotten a little more adventurous over the years and started adding herbs such as rosemary and thyme, but keep in mind that the longer it sits, the stronger it will taste.
Lime is my new go-to infuser. As an aside, if I have leftover fruit or herbs, I chop them up and put them in an ice cube tray, fill with water and pop them out when frozen. I can put one in a drink bottle as I am going out the door. Boom. Quick and easy!
Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world. I dedicate this picture to #SundayPurple #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day! And just for the heck of it, we will throw in those red in the back for #MondayRed. A twofer of sorts.
A layer of quiet lay undisturbed on the Mall. Let there be peace, let there be peace in your walk today. This photo is dedicated to #MonochromeMonday with @Old-Guy-Photos. Let see those Mono shots!
And just like that, these musings are done. I want to thank @ace108, @c0ff33a, @kalmandra, and @old-guy-photos for hosting these challenges and just so you know, although much sun and shine were used up today, I can guarantee that there is still a little left in my heart. Have a most fabulous day!
Thanks for stopping by! All words and images are mine and can be also found on my various social media sites.

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again. In the game of life, my friends, pondlife is at least a little further up the evolutionary chain than the insult - pond scum. Keep it classy, people. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
