Sky Paintings

Sometimes the only thing it takes in order to change one's perspective, is to take a deep soul-cleansing breath...
raise your eyes towards the sky, and observe.  It does not always take something drastic or life-altering or even a move from where you are already sitting.  Sometimes, just breathing and looking up is all you have to do in order to view things in a better light.

During a moment of frustration, this afternoon, I stopped to look out of my window.  This was the beauty that met my gaze and held it there for quite a long while.  There is nothing like capturing a majestic masterpiece in time, just before it begins to fade out into darkness.  

If something has you feeling down, try looking up.  You might not find the answers to your frustrations there, but you certainly might find something that will distract you into a momentary feeling of calm.

Absolutely beautiful, Deb! You are so right in this post...the other morning at work, I stood up and glanced out the window just in time to notice the beginning of a beautiful pink and purple sunrise. My two co-workers and I rushed over to the window and watched it unfold; nice way to start the day! So much depends upon perspective and attitude; you can look for beauty and good in things, or you can look for things to be "not quite right" and for something to complain about. I really like to try to find good things, and hope to do it more often! Coming here to visit you is always a good start :)...

Gentle hugs and love...

Came by your blog through Catherine (above!). I've always loved the sky and find it incredibly calming and hypnotic.
