This morning I took a time out from life. I shared breakfast with some women who challenge me, inspire me and love on me. I was wrapped in nature, surrounded by vibrant wild flowers, buzzing busy bees and towering oak trees. A cool breeze touched my shoulder and I whispered words of thanks to my Father, who loves me enough to even provide a world with beauty and mystery. Words spoken out loud from familiar voices touched my heart and soothed an ache I had forgotten needed tending to. I looked above me and noticed the blue sky was crystal clear. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Some things just can’t be put into words, but this song was playing through my head all morning and I think it sums up these kind of days just perfectly.

Days like this
You look up at the sky above you
Days like this
You think about the ones that love you

All I wanna do is live my life honestly
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones that went before you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky it’s such a clear blue

All I wanna do is live my life honestly
I just wanna wake up and see your face next to me
Every regret I have I will go set it free
It will be good for me

Days like this
You think about the ones that love you
Days like this
Have you ever seen the sky it’s such a clear blue
