MORNING HAS BROKEN

       We're happy to wake up early this morning and decided to walk around the community. The air is so cool, that I almost forgot  we're in the Philippines. It's really an awesome feeling to be unusual sometimes.To plan some exciting things as early as you can. The cloudy skies above us did not hinder  from continuing our journey. We have to recharge and prepare ourselves for new challenges hangin' around the corner.
I remember the line from Ralph Waldo Emerson regarding thankfulness:
For each morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends. 
We human beings are sometimes vulnerable in life, we hurt easily. Despite it all, we have to continue loving ourselves, understand the way of living and get inspired with little things that surrounds us.The way of life may sometimes robbed us with the moment of happiness, but this should not despair us.
As we move on, we were amazed of these flowers . The leaves seem to be tiny and a very ordinary shrubs but its flowers speak it all. I have a great feeling of relaxation.
I remember the lines I have recited when I was ten:
Each little flowers that open,
Each little birds that sing,
He made their tiny colors,
He made their tiny wings!
If given a chance to talk to God, I would thank Him for this wonderful creation that truly inspires me each days of my life.

 On our way home we find this: a resting butterfly. I waited for sometimes for it to open its wings, but perhaps its is also trying to protect itself from the coldness  outside.
   According to Nathaniel Hawthorne:
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
Just true. Happiness is just around the corner waiting for us to unveil the secret. Happy morning!
