on being blessed… by Mary Oliver

“Sometimes I need only to stand where I am to be blessed”

Mary Oliver

Around now I start thinking of one of our favorite vacation spots in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.  We love to camp, browse galleries, and just generally relax in the cool mountain air.  It is an escape from the daily busy schedule and the heat.  But this quote reminds me to see the blessings of being right where I am.

This is a photo of the sunset that I took from the car this week. The cloud bank looked like another row of enormous trees. And the colors just can’t seem to be captured in a photo. Yes, I am definitely blessed right where I stand!
