I've been going through a period that I can only (and profoundly) call the "Blahs". I dont know if it's the aforementioned underlying stress of the economy, politics, etc. I can't put my finger on it. I felt like I slogged through the week - went through the motions with little joy or motivation. Yesterday was going to be a busy day and I tried to face it one step at a time and not get anxious about anything because I knew it wasn't worth it. I had to leave early to get bagels for work. This is a responsibility I take seriously because I know how much the teachers look forward to Friday morning breakfast. One time I got a speeding ticket less than a mile from work because I was in such a rush.
ANYWAY! This is what I saw when I left early yesterday. An answer to my prayers in a way I never would have imagined. I can't see the sunrise from my house - only in leaving early on a bagel quest. I had to take these photos from the moving car - but wow.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other, nothing is hidden from its heat. Psalm 19:5-6

I'm glad you received the gift of such beauty. Those photos are anything but blah!
Mrs. Agitator and I headed for Cape May, New Jersey, a couple weeks ago when a case of the mutual balhs smacked us both pretty hard.
A couple hours on a sunny beach with your sweety can work wonders.
We all just have to keep holding on to what is important. REALLY important.
Oh Diane- when I read this post and see the photos this phrase comes to mind (I use it a lot) - there is no accounting for grace.
Oh those blahs - but then the sunrise or whatever it may be that switches something.
A beautiful morning sky is an inspiration and a gift and what timing for you! I get blah (fatigue) with the change of seasons. I'm hoping you move through it quickly. It's no fun.
Thanks for sharing this... I've been in the blah mode too.

I hate it when I have those days, those dragging days when my spirit and body say, "Are you kidding?" Glad the sky threw some colors at you. Glad you noticed! I love that passage from the Psalms. I have not read it in a long time. It fits perfectly!
