missed opportunity

I missed the cutest photo this morning -and then proceeded to obsess about it for an hour - good thing I don't have to be at work until 11:30 today
I should have gone to pilates but my tummy wasn't cooperating so I convinced myself I'll go to the makeup class on friday -and today I enjoyed some tea.
So what fabulous picture did I miss? We have a bench in the back yard where we scatter seed for the birds - and on the bench a squirrel and a male cardinal were eating in harmony. It would have been a perfect shot they way they were positioned - but by the time I went in the other room for my camera - they were gone.
Now every morning I am going to hope for that picture to show itself again.....

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
