Moody Monday Motivations

Mondays seem to be my downfall of late!
with so much on my agenda, I'm having great difficulty in actually accomplishing much of anything! Perhaps it is the Domino Effect.. where each step of a project is contingent upon either the one before it..or the next one on the list.. one glitch and all goes haywire! 
Then in frustration, I take a break..grabbing another cup of coffee..which lingers much too long..
For example..it all started with the computer..and an e-mail from a dear friend..up in Maine..she sent the following pics..
and I simply drooled..
well after the first one.. 
see for yourself!

Her Place..look at that GLORIOUS sunrise..isn't it simply magnificent?and to imagine..she sees it 2 hours before I do!
Then she had the audacity to share vacation pics in the same e-mail..

I've seen peacocks many times..but this fella against such a vivid green backdrop..let's just say I am so hungry for color!
this truly fits the bill as a sight for sore eyes!

These waters are beautiful with iridescent blues and greens..everchanging..depending on the time of day..and light from above. They sleep aboard as well as sail  frequently on the boat pictured..(envy..BEGONE!)

Bouganvilla..always a favorite in the tropics,look at the yellowish centers..I can just FEEL the warm sunshine from above..

Have you EVER seen such a DRAMATIC Hibiscus? I haven't. At least not yet!.

How about the sunshiny delight of this awesome yellow hibiscus? love it!!

A nice warm tropical sunset there...

and here ..as I stare out the window seeing bare limbs on the trees of my wintery home ..seeing the Cheshire Cat moon smiling back at me.. promising soon..daffodils and tulips will be shouting bright, cheery colorful welcome hellos to Spring!

okay..break time over.. 
back to the tasks at hand..
as usual..my coffee is now COLD!...
check out the happenings in their colorful worlds with these delightful folks!

The Moon..

I see the moon....

Seeing this photo reminded me of  an evening ritual..
one that is repeated in most every home,
every night..

the saying of ones prayer's before turning in for the night.
As a child, i would say :
"I see the moon,

the moon sees me..
God bless the moon..

and God bless me..
Now I lay me down to sleep..
I pray the Lord my soul to keep..
Four posts has my bed..
four Angels at my head..
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John..
Bless the bed I lay upon..
and then began the singular  God blesses..
mommy, daddy,
siblings
extended family..
finally pets..
then the riduculous..
to the mundane.."
then mom would end my prayer with..
come on, you are making others wait to talk to God!!
strange how a picture can trigger obscure memories..

what old memories of yours have surfaced lately?
hugs..
