Sometimes when we stay at this Gleneden Beach resort, we luck out with beautiful beach views and other times no view at all. On this little retreat, we’re in a condo that is surrounded by trees. From certain spots in the living room and dining area, we can see a little slice of the Pacific Ocean. This morning I sat on the balcony in the spring sunshine, listening to the roar of the waves and watching the tumbling blue surf. I’m very happy with this condo. It’s private, quiet and different because we’ve never stayed in this particular one before.
So as sadness does linger, I’m steering myself toward beauty and gratitude for what I have. I will drag the moroseness behind me with a tow rope if I must. And I’ll get through it as best I can. One doesn’t need to look far to see all the great things life has to offer. It’s there if we take a moment to see it and appreciate it.
Time to walk on, stand tall, and not let things totally diminish my spirit. It’s been bruised a bit, but hopefully filling my heart with positive things will heal the wounds. Ready, set and got my “Pollyanna” game face on!
