Shhh … Silent Sunday 8/14/22




There is just so much ugliness and negativity in our world today. Many of us are struggling with heightened anxiety because of the nearly constant bad news showing up on our devices and making its way into our minds and bodies.
So I am going to try (emphasis on “try”) to lean into the lovely when I see it.
The endangered Longleaf Pine is my favorite tree, so on our travels, I love looking for Longleaf’s relatives. Here are some cousins HR and I saw while up in the Catskills recently.


I’m leaning into the lovely, life-enhancing pines.

Can you smell them? Deliciously healthy fragrance.

“Glorious”







Marveling!

Growing directly from the tree trunk?!
Seriously?




Actually, somewhat weirdly marveling.
Yesterday afternoon Robert and I ventured over to nearby Skidaway Island State Park (Savannah) for a hike. I was just amazed at the beauty of some of the DEAD things …


HR (you know) took the following pics.






Beauty endures.
… I know I’ve already posted my Five Friday Happy Bringers today, but I just got back from a late afternoon walk in my neighborhood here in Historic District Savannah, and I MUST show you what I saw …




The azaleas are just glorious this spring late winter.



The church spires kept urging me to look heavenward.

But there is just so much beauty here below!
