when the morning looks like this, you know it's going to be a great day. autumn doesn't bother me this year. the air seems clearer, the colors brighter, the light more intense. when i go out into the cool, still morning, dew heavy on the grass, to let out the chickens, it's just glorious. every single morning. and i have, at least for that moment, an intense rush of happiness that i live where i live and have the life that i have. and any worries i might have seem trivial at that moment - they dissipate in the crisp morning air.
and the same thing happens again in the evening, when it's time to close the chickens back in. they go in on their own, so there's no herding them or chasing them. they're always on their perches and they give little disgruntled, but friendly clucks when i open the door and tell them good night and close the hatches. and again, i feel that same rush of happiness and contentment that i feel in the morning.
to have two of those moments a day, it's more than a lot of people have and i'm grateful.

Ah, yes, I'm with you there! I have that same feeling taking rounds in my garden. It really is a wonderful world :)
Exactly how I feel!! It is those two times of day that grounds me. Perfectly put!!
I hear you and I feel the same.
i love this post. simple and true. i really need to remember that i have happy moments during the day, things that fill me up until i'm going overflow, and that is more than a lot of people have. (though i am a little jealous those are your morning and evening view, my friend.)
i'm so glad you guys can relate! :-)
Can't get past that spectacular sunset photo...what was that you said? Sorry...have butterfly brain...probably the jet-lag.
