Here I am on the pier at 6:05 am this morning, surrounded by a dense fog, yet overflowing with appreciation for a glorious start to my day. It was a thrill to be fully present at this moment, deliberately enjoying the cool breeze while simultaneously being awestruck by the sight of the orangish flag blowing in the wind.
Let me not forget to mention how the base of the pier was moving ever so slightly as I stood listening attentively to the sound of the river flowing below my feet!
As I began to move slowly and scrutinizing everything in sight, I became enamored with the lights, well-positioned around the gate, shining a yellow tint oh so nicely on the ground.
After walking in a circle, I decided to sit down and think about the first thing that popped into my mind. It is doubtful that I would have recognized the value of this moment in my 20s and would have most likely felt the somberness often associated with such a foggy sky.
However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I chose to see this as a partly sunny morning, which set the tone for another exciting and productive day!
Have a relaxing Thursday evening and enjoy the rain if you are in the Big Apple. 😊
