Look up!

Beautiful evening sky in Portland on my way home tonight -

Intense orange red behind blues, gray purples, warm gold tones above with peach -

 

 

After I took the photos there was a guy with earphones across the street walking by and watching me.  I looked at him and pointed at the sky.  He looked at the top of a light post.  He glanced over at me again and I pointed again this time saying loudly, "The sky!" with a smile.  Again he looked at the top of the light post and just brushed me off.  He probably thought I was crazy and seeing imaginary leprechans dancing on the top of the post.

 

One who has not learned to see the everyday beauty all around them lives a life of true poverty.  But I guess that depends on your perspective - I was missing out on the music he was listening to afterall. haha

 

I hope you are admiring the beauty in your part of the world as much as possible.  Love to all!

 

 

What Will Make You Change

In order to enjoy the next couple of days, I've decided to spend tonight cleaning to get it out of the way.  I have been procrastinating for about an hour by trying to get the "About" page ready for my etsy shop.  Formatting the photos for the page has been a pain that I can't seem to shake off as the photos never quite fit in the window as planned.

I have read that most of the time we change when things become just too uncomfortable.  When we are at our breaking point, true change can take place.  Well, I guess the formatting photos really did the job, as I'm now motivated to clean! 

In the meantime, I'm hoping that the weather will be good for a nature walk and/or city walk with Matthew sometime in the next couple of days - so this will also keep me motivated as to why I'm choosing to clean instead of relax tonight.  :)

 

 

 

Also, Happy Valentines Day to all of you from Portland!  Love to you all, and thank you so much for following this blog.
