A Little Sunshine

Hey,

This is Odie checking in with my friends. I hope you are having a fabulous day.

Reminder
Tonight is the night that the clock springs forward. Make sure your clocks are set to change. Looking on the bright side, we get more daylight in the evening. 🌞 

I am definitely not a fan of losing an hour of sleep. Sleep has become even more precious to me since I had Covid. Some nights I sleep great and other nights I struggle to sleep more than a few hours. I know this is normal for my Dad, but I am not a fan! I do love my sleep!

A Little Sunshine
We all could use something to help our day be brighter. I decided to share some Sunshine today. Do you have one thing that brings a smile to your face? I have told you many times that I consider the beach my happy place. The sunshine and beauty bring me incredible joy.

That is why I chose to make my house a bright and beautiful beach cottage. I wanted to share a couple pictures that help make me happy. We have posted both of these in the past, but they deserve a repost. You can see them in another blog by clicking here.

Bro. Ron Conner from Kentucky took this picture. It is from one of his trips to Florida. If my memory serves me correctly, I think he said it was Fort Meyers.


This picture hangs above my bed. I am sitting under it right now as I type. I smile any time that I look at the details of this photo. I can almost feel the warmth of the sunshine and smell the ocean air.

When looking for decor for my home, I needed a large piece for the wall opposite my bed. I found it courtesy of my friend, Shavona Deane Golden. She is a great photographer. Shavona is now doing photos of people. Shavona's current work can be found at a new web address.  

I knew this picture was perfect for this large wall. Shavona allowed me to get the picture printed on a large canvas and I love it! My Uncle Steve had the canvas made at his work.



The picture is aptly named Pathway To Happiness. When I look at this picture in front of me right now, I imagine that I am looking at this peaceful scene at Pensacola Beach and walking along with my toe's in the sand.

I will also mention the Beach Rules sign. It is a new addition to my wall. I really like it hanging next to the big picture! They go together very well. The sign was a gift from some friends.
 
I hope this brings you a little sunshine and a big smile today.

Thanks for stopping by to visit with me. I will see you all next time.

Odie
