A Brand New Day

I woke up with a new sense of hope and optimism this morning. Not that I considered myself in some sort of depression, or anything. It's just that, with the sun shining so brightly through the windows, it's hard to believe such a horrendous storm passed through last night. With the exception of washed out debris collected on the sides of the roadway, you wouldn't even know there was a storm.

So, this is what they mean when saying 'it's the dawn of a new day.' I'm feeling revitalized and ready to tackle anything. Nature continues to surprise me. All this from a little sunshine. Go figure.




A little more than two months till our annual hiking trip in Maine.... today's a good day to start an exercise routine to build up stamina....
