This morning as I rushed out of the house
about 10 minutes later than usual
I came up short ~ stopped myself
and looked around
truthfully I could have turned around
called into work
and spent the morning wandering aimlessly with my camera
the trees were covered in a thick frost
I think they call it hoar frost
sounds dirty doesn't it...

they looked like they were dipped in a syrup
and rolled in powdered sugar
there was fog over the river
my breath came out in a puff of white
and I said to myself
this is beautiful
everything is white thanks to the extra snow
we received on Sunday
and because I stopped for just a moment
the rest of my day was a happier one
yes ~ it was Monday
but I actually drove through
the drive thru ~ no line up
yes ~ I forgot my book at home
had to park a mile away from the building
and was busier than all get out
I chose to be happy
so although I have used this before
today I lived it
and it felt good...
how is your Monday??

Such a beautiful post. It truly is how you want to look at things. I have learned it is best to look at things positively. Life is too short. It is lived much fuller if you look at the beauty of it.
Gorgeous and I love that quote!
Oh, those trees are spectacular!! Hoar frost you say? Sounds dirty! lol!! Other than the beauty of the scenery, it sounds like you had a typical Monday. My dog threw up in my bed and I had to wash all the sheets and blankets, I was without a car again and felt shut in. And with no one home, I felt a bit lonely. That was my Monday. Now I feel a little foolish because others have it so much worse. We do make our own happiness...I have to start now.

Wow, This is beautiful. I think you should have stayed home and taken pictures all day.

This is great - happiness is a choice. Sometimes it's harder to make than others, but it remains the truth. And a good thick frost on the trees will brighten any day!
