Spring is in the air.
It was a hazy misty morning when I went out on my lanai this early morning. The temperature was warm. I had gone outside to observe the vast nature that is my backyard before attempting my Tai Chi meditative exercises. I’d been unable to do them outside because our temperatures had been a bit chilly. Our cold temperatures in Southern Florida in winter are 60’s during the day and 40’s in the morning and at night.
Now, our spring season has arrived. We’re experiencing temperatures in the mid 70’s in the morning. The warmer weather has brought a great many birds back to our estuary.
On this morning, the break of day showcased a bald eagle majestically flying overhead while a white egret waded in the water swallowing small fish.
The bird feeders I’ve strategically placed on my spring blossoming orchid tree are starting to attract red cardinals, hummingbirds and scrub jays. I can hear tiny chirping from baby birds in the holly berry bush I planted several years ago. They’re waiting for their daily feeding from mama birds who’ve gone hunting. These are panoramic views and sounds that never disappoint nor do I tire hearing.
As the sun breaks through the mist, a shimmer blankets the water on the lake. It’s a hypnotically mesmerizing tranquil place of peace. It’s a time of quiet contemplation before the day ahead. I’m looking at my orchids that are still in bloom while others are forming buds for future blooms. Nature is slowly awakening with all of its’ beauty. I’m enraptured by the many blessings I have.
Today stretches before me waiting to be shaped into the creation I choose to sculpt deciding what shape and form it will be. It will be as unique as me. It is all up to me. I am going to make it a GREAT day. I hope you will, too, unless you have other plans.

Sweet morning!
I should back into Tai Chi! I find it hard on the knees, and I had an accident about 12 years ago. It seems walking is the safest.

My doctors have recommended walking too. My knee was supposed to be replaced in December. Too many splits and plié from my dancing days. 😀
Pre-surgical stress tests showed heart issues. Those had to be addressed. I’ve been getting shots. They work. I’m taking advantage of the lack of pain and doing the Tai Chi because I love it and find walking boring. My teacher is Chinese and 84. 😳 I’ll probably have to stop soon but until then I’ll play. 👍
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday, Resa, and enjoy the creativity of Mother Nature’s Spring paintings.
