How about a little

Peace seems a little further away this morning. Don’t worry, I’m not giving up.

I’m feeling at peace this morning. Not a normal feeling for me. The body and mind are relaxed for a change of pace. And while that could change at any moment, I’m going with it.

Maybe it was my grandson’s birthday party yesterday. Seeing children happy is a wonderful gift. Watching them see the world and each other is a joy to watch. I look at their creativity and I’m envious. It was a great day, and I was worn out from entertaining kids. Too many children grow up without the love and support they need.

It could be that this Sunday’s agenda is FREE. Well, some normal yard and home chores, new tags/registration on the car, unclog some more gutters and maybe a trip to the hardware store. And that is a pretty free day so I should be able to get some new images here and there. I’ve charged up 2 of the 3 camera batteries earlier this morning.

I’ve started a few illustrations and hope to get some reading done. I just turned on the printer and will get that rolling shortly because it’s still too early to be making noise outside.

Sundays used to be the day I would dread. They would start around 6 or 7am. Be family/friend orientated during the day and then work the overnight shift and maybe get to bed at 8 am on Monday morning. Now I look forward to Sundays so much because when I get tired now, I can go to sleep.

I hope you enjoy your Sunday wherever you are.
