Today’s Picture to Ponder Photos
Sunset and Sunrise in Wakodahtachee Wetlands
The top photo was taken at sunset. As I looked at the screen, after I snapped the first picture, it looked to me like the sun was setting behind a ski slope. In Sunset Rays you can see the rays of the sun coming through behind thick layers of clouds.
The bottom two photos are of a sunrise at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. In the first of the two, I especially appreciate the full opening up, fanning out, of the light of the sun.
I include the lower of the two sunrises to gift the feeling of serenity and warmth, particularly to those of you around the country and the world experiencing the harshness of winter’s cold and raging snowfalls.
The Story
There is definitely not a long “story” today.
Simply, as I continued to look for the “right” photos, I reminded myself to be easy on me and go with what I had mentally bookmarked, a couple of weeks ago, to feature in Picture to Ponder, the sunset that reminded me of photos of ski slopes.
Today’s Self-Reflecting Queries
In invite you to look into your life. Are there recurring areas where you continue to spend a lot of time and belabor doing “THE RIGHT thing”, making “THE RIGHT choice”?
For me it is, of course, far more than selecting photos for Picture to Ponder. This week a lot of energy went on “THE RIGHT gift” and “THE RIGHT amounts of money” on a gift cards. A friend of mine reminded me that more important is the consideration for the person, rather than the gift itself, that is important. At other times, it’s “the RIGHT thing” to wear, “the RIGHT thing” to eat and much more. I’m sure that you can add to the list from your own life.
If any of this fits for you, I invite you to take one thing on which you are currently dwelling and simply choose, letting the chatter go. If there is nothing that occurs right now, as you read, I invite you to take note of any thing that might pop up during the next few days. Choose to simplify and release the angst of choosing at least one “RIGHT” thing.
Remember to have fun with this.
To All, who are celeberating a holiday in the next few days, may it be a joyful, happy one, filled with peace and love. May each and everyone have days filled with the latter.
Whether or not you are celebrating a holiday, please remember to celebrate yourself. Love to all.

The light bursting through the top photo reminds me of the jagged cut in my thumb, the inside of my thumb.
The pain seethes through it during the day, intermittently, if I walk around without a bandaid or without keeping it moisturized.
Dryness, torn, ouch.
I see, instead of pain, just divine light in your photo. Helps me to feel peace.
I prefer that feeling. 🙂
Thanks for commenting, Julie. I started cringing at your initial response, already having been second guessing myself on the photos I used 🙂
Then I read your last comment. Whew! I like the “divine light”.
That brings me peace also and definitely a much better feeling.
And, having participated and grown so much myself in others of your 42 day programs, I look forward to your “42 Days of Passionate Presence BEing Bootcamp” – http://www.beingbootcamp.com/
