Extra Ordinary

Things are not always as they seem. This morning, I awoke to what appeared to be a "flat" sky at dawn. By "flat", I mean the color was diffused, soft, misty looking, with no real focal point. Beautiful, yes, most definitely. But the first word that came to me was "flat". Maybe because that is how I was feeling. Flat. For a whole host of reasons. I reached for my glasses (blind as a bat), just to take another look at the flat dawn. It was not flat at all. It was utterly amazing. A very distinct, wide, ray was shooting upwards from the horizon, from the sun that was still sleeping, somewhere below the water. I could hardly believe my eyes, it was THAT beautiful. What I thought was a pretty, but somewhat non distinct sky, was so much more when I made the effort to look more closely. When I made the effort to get up, put on my glasses, and see. Really see. This is the pic. I wanted to share it. It can be so easy to dismiss the ordinary. To MISS, in the ordinary, the extra. To miss what is really there. I know, I ended the blog. I wanted to end on a high note, and the red dress WAS a high note. But I'm still learning. Maybe I'll be back, every now and then. Please check. Until next time.....
