the roses are still beautiful on my window sill at work. and i found myself stopping today just to stare at them in the light. though my desk is far from perfect (or clean), i found a stride today and plowed through a ton of tasks by simply making a list and doing them one at a time. it was the old 'covey' method of do it, delegate it or toss it. don't knock the man, it works when you're determined.
as i left the office, i noticed the dogwood tree is full of buds - i can't wait for the blooms. and the moon was hanging there in the blue, blue sky. my heart skipped a beat at the beauty of just that moment and all was right with the world, even if it was just for a moment.
driving home was a bit easier today as i knew i got more accomplished than the day before - and i remembered to breathe. that's the trick you know, breathing.
beautiful photos !

Really beautiful pictures. They make my heart smile. Our dogwood tree has blooms too! And yes ,Thank you for reminding us of what the trick is! :) cuz I forget to breath all of the time.
ReplyDeleteYes...breathing and knocking things off the ol' to do list. I actually did get a few things crossed off today too...boy that felt good!
ReplyDeleteAh...you even have lovely light at work! Gorgeous roses - and the dogwood tree just makes my heart skip a beat...I have one right outside my front window, but those buds are still locked up tight, with more snow forecast over the next few days.
ReplyDeleteThat's okay, though - I'll just breathe through it...
we were on the same track yesterday char and that makes me smile . something about that sky .
ReplyDeletebreathing is great and I guess that spring is coming, ooh your lucky, in Canada we had a big snow storm!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you had a good day,.... and that you shared the dogwood and moon with us too! :)
ReplyDeleteAll was right with the world, just for a moment. Moment by moment, that's what matters. Perception, beauty, vision, seeing how right it is.
ReplyDeletebreathing is good. and so is being lovely.
ReplyDeletethere is definitely something about the blue skies these days. this morning I noticed it had the look of spring even though it was 25º outside.
ReplyDeletehope today is even better than yesterday, which was better than the day before.
I too cannot wait for the
ReplyDeletedogwoods to come into bloom!
I've been paying homage to the fat buds on the magnolias. : ) Mr. Cardinal has been singing the spring song too. It's coming soon! And, as always, your photo...those breath-taking roses...is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe roses bring a little bit of sunshine into your office. Your photography as always is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh....breathing !! I think I can do that !
ReplyDeleteand it's probably less offensive than swearing and stomping my feet :)
Breathing really is a good thing. Glad to hear you're feeling productive.
ReplyDeleteLovely tones...
ReplyDeletei just realized i was holding my breath when i read your reminder to breathe.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
yes, it's a morning.
i'm going to rub my face on the screen and see if some of your productivity leaks onto my skin.
I'm with you on the breathing...so simple yet so effective!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice not to drive home in the dark now too, huh? The days are getting longer...a sure sign!
ReplyDeletebreathe. breathe. sometimes we need to be reminded to do that! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, that's the trick. such beautiful roses.

Maybe you can swipe some branches of that dogwood and force them inside. Wish ours were budding here already!
ReplyDeleteyep breathing helps... it's good for you you know! I too noticed something with buds today so it looks like hope is on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't taken the time to breathe lately. I am going to do just that!
ReplyDeleteit is, indeed. we just need to remind ourselves of that sometimes. thanks char.
ReplyDeleteI love getting to see a little bit of your office. So glad you found a way to bring those beautiful roses into your work world! And I hear you about plowing through work. I wake up feeling swamped and feel satisfaction if I can get through my bare minimum goals--then I know it was a good day. That plus sneaking off to the beach for a moment :)
ReplyDeletebreathing is very important, and so is having a nice office environment
ReplyDeletewhen i forget to breathe i also clench my teeth. nice combo! love your post!!!
ReplyDeleteSpring blooms and a list accomplished? Excellent :).
ReplyDeleteIt's important to stop by your blog daily Char for me...as my steps get slower and you aid in my thought process...
ReplyDeleteThank you...slowing down sometimes is a wonderful thing!
HUGS
Char.
Breathing, being determined, being inspired...and you look around you and think "life is good" xo
ReplyDeleteAren't dogwood blooms beautiful? They almost look as though they have fallen from the sky and settled lightly upon the tree.
