Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart.—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Right this moment, your thoughts are setting the direction for your future. Choose the thoughts that will lead you to the life you most desire. —Ralph Marston

This photo was taken at sunset on a Saturday. A Saturday at the end of a week that included ice, power outages, creativity and hot chocolate by candle light — as well as numerous other unique opportunities. It was the first day the sun and its beautiful effects upon the sky had been visible. There were no bright rays of light during the day. Only muted brush strokes of color at sunset.

I took several photos … However, this one caught my eye this morning as I remember that day. It is a view of the sky through a maze of Elm tree branches. It is also a view of a large bird nest. Do you see it, too?

What are you focused on? Will you (continue to) press through the immediate and choose the thoughts that will lead you to the life you most desire?
