A good way to start a Sunday morning, or any morning, is time at Pineridge Natural Area. Joining me this morning at chapel were three Mule Deer, a couple of cottontails, a small choir of ducks and geese on Dixon Reservoir, a lone fisherman standing on the shore, and the nonstop chatter of magpies. We were finally gifted with a lovely afternoon rainstorm yesterday. It brought such a refreshing scent of rain, bright clear skies and if you were present to the moment, the loving touch of Creation. Morning chapel!

Seeing this beautiful outdoor setting, a “morning chapel,” beautifully captures the spiritual connection found in nature. I see that connection as a gentle reminder to slow down, savor our surroundings, and discover gratitude in life’s simple moments. Lovely, Monte!

I am grateful that i’m in a place where I really want to slow down and be in the present moment, to see what’s in front of me, to embrace nature, and let it touch me. And, yes, gratitude! I hope you’re having a good day!
