Fall Mornings
A clear crisp morning in Fall. No late sleeping today. Up and out. We are looking for natural inspiration this early morn.
Find a local park or hiking trail, nothing rugged, we are out for a leisurely stroll. Bundle into cozy fall jackets, soft scarves and mittens for chilly hands! Head out right before sunrise ( it is late these days!) Bring your dog! Stop for steamy lattes! Pumpkin Spice Lattes for two! Bring your own mug, festive for the upcoming Halloween!
Homemade covers for our mugs!
It is quiet at the park this time of year. The dry leaves make a soft crunchy sound, the air is fresh with the smells of fall! Walk slowly, sip your lattes and laugh at the delights your dog finds as he runs through the leaves! Over head the geese are “V”ing their way to their winter havens and off in the distance, we hear the ducks quacking in their flotillas. On the ground, deer tracks lead away from the edge of the lake and are swallowed up by the bright colored leaves.
Now is your time, be sure to get a kiss in the glow of sunrise!
The sun comes up over the lake! The best time of day!
The Husband stands and watches the sunrise! Not often he is so still!
Plan your day and include other perfect moments!
Now
Memories are meant to be treasured. We take the photo of events, of the moments we want to remember. Our homes are filled with memories of our past.
Now, we are here, today, looking at our new life. Today, we are not focused on building something to look back upon. We are living in the Now! No backward glances, no gazing towards the future, just now. Hmmm….
Do you have pictures of your everyday life? The BBQ just you and yours attended in your own backyard, the dinner at the cute little restaurant you both love, shovel in hand in the garden, drinking coffee on the front porch? Ahh, I thought so. Here is where we will start.
Let us begin. Grab the most recent picture of the two of you, no older than one month! What? You don’t have a recent picture? Create that perfect shot today. Grab your camera and pick your spot. Choose what to wear, yes, you can choose anything! Set your timer and snap some shots, more than one! Think silly photo booth, think faces and kisses and snuggle shots. Laugh and giggle while you do this! Print them out right away! Pick your favorite! What does your picture say to you? Write out a caption- funny, loving, romantic and print it or hand write it!
We are going to create a Now Frame! This will be the daily reminder of your glorious Now! This is meant to be changed! Maybe weekly, perhaps every other week, maybe every couple days, never longer than a month!
I grabbed several double frames at the Dollar Tree Dollar store, the picture and my caption.
I assembled my Now Frame! I placed it in our bedroom where we can see it every morning when we arise and each night before our lights are dimmed. A touching reminder of us …NOW!
Catch your daily life each day! Never let a day drop off the calendar in which you do not choose a moment to catch! True- other people love to snap your picture if you ask! Always ask!
