Heavenly Day

Long Friday for me…
I’m sure I have mentioned I work as a Design Consultant for a National Home builder. I love my job and the wonderful people I have the opportunity to work with. Some days are long though… and today one of them. I guess I was sort of having a bit of a pity party.

I was heading home up I-15– pretty busy traffic, when I noticed a young man in the car next to me beating on his steering wheel and flailing his arms and screaming (of course I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but I am pretty sure they were some colorful words) — the car in front of him had another younger man in it  and he was just as irritated and was looking in his rear view mirror screaming and flailing his arms all about too!

I am quite aware that this was a very dangerous situation–

BUT honestly all I could do was bust out laughing — I mean laugh HARD and loud (ok,maybe I even snorted but no one was there so I won’t admit to that)  and I said to myself — “Claudia those boys are having a MUCH worse day than you!! Snap out of this!!”

So, I took myself to one of my local hang outs. Some people hang out at bars or pubs… me… I walk gardens…(yes i know BoooHOOORing)  But they lift me up! With my i-pod plugged in I was listening to fantastic orchestration. Some how it seems just as the music begins to swell I would round a corner to find quite by happenstance, a perfect moment in time just ready for me to capture. Serendipity– Nudge nudge — hence the name :)

I know many of you are weary of flower photos, but I know when the snow is falling, in a couple of months from now, I will long for more flowering days.

Borrowing some Lyrics from Patti Griffin — Heavenly Day

“Heavenly Day”

Oh heavenly day, all the clouds blew away
Got no trouble today with anyone
The smile on your face I live only to see
It’s enough for me, baby, it’s enough for me
Oh, heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day

Tomorrow may rain with sorrow
Here’s a little time we can borrow
Forget all our troubles in these moments so few
All we’ve got right now, the only thing that
All we really have to do
Is have ourselves a heavenly day
Lay here and watch the trees sway
Oh, can’t see no other way, no way, no way
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day

No one at my shoulder bringing me fears
Got no clouds up above me bringing me tears
Got nothing to tell you, I’ve got nothing much to say
Only I’m glad to be here with you
On this heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Heavenly day, all the trouble’s gone away
Oh, for a while anyway, for a while anyway
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day

Pink Saturday

Filed Under Pink | 25 Comments

I was encouraged by a couple of my new “blog” sisters to participate in PINK SATURDAY.

I love the color Pink, with its many meanings these days, but for me it reminds me of the wonderful times I spent with my beautiful daughter doing fun girlie things.

Is there a special color you love?

Too many fun PINK ideas to choose from! Thanks for including me!

TTFN~~Claudia
