Sounds like a beautiful morning, with birds then sunrise, a very peaceful start to a new day filled with positivity, hopes and aspirations. I do hope that you will make rapid progress to get freed from the constraints of the wheelchair. Cheers to walking along the beach very soon! Lovely writing. Great post. A challenge to us all to be thankful, and to be aware of the beautiful things all around us each day.

    Hello Wendy. You write excellent reviews and, like your posts, they are very well written. I love your take on this...to the beginning of the new day along with possibilities for hopes and aspirations.
    Thank you for your kind comments. It is my sincere intention to get out of this wheelchair and walk one day soon. I appreciate your encouragement to do this very much.
    Have a great day, my friend,
    Jesse

By all means I enjoy it! Never heard of "tule fog!" ( I am SO east coast)--- had to run off and ask Mr. Google about it! Sure enough, it's a California phenomenon! Somehow pairing the serenity of nature with the quiet but steely determination to make great strides in your own journey to physical well being lends a (Six star) poignancy that makes me smile...

    Hi Karenina! I love the way you put words together to get at the essence of a piece.
    I grew up with tule fog almost every morning and evening so, I am used to it.
    I am glad you enjoyed my prose piece and found it poignant. Thank you for the six stars...from you especially, they mean so much!
    Take care,
    Jesse

This prose piece is vividly descriptive, skillfully written, and inspirational. I like the way the birds take center stage--trilling out a wake-up call, then moving on to blend with the other varied sounds of the day.

Hi Jesse,

Beautifully uplifting prose here with abundant alliteration throughout along with a positive outlook.

So cool that you've purchased a walking stick before even moving to a walker. Our bodies are made to heal and heal more you shall. My prayers are with you and thanks for sharing.

Also interesting is your hearing becoming more keen. This reminds me of the song, Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens...even though I discovered it was originally written by a female poet years ago. I forget which year.

Keep taking care of yourself and enjoying nature on your path to greater health.

    Hello AnnaLinda.
    Thank you for this wonderfully encouraging review. So far, you're the only one to notice and comment on the alliteration of the piece. I love what you said about healing and how I have encouraged my body to heal. I think that shows up in my hearing increasing while my eyesight decreases in functionality.
    I appreciate your kind words and, I will take good care of myself as best as I can.
    Have a good afternoon,
    Jesse

    Thank you, Yvonne, for saying a prayer for me to do all that I can. I do love nature and have my friend/caregiver roll me in my wheelchair on nature paths near where I live. Thank you for your encouragement.
    Have a great evening,

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I love your philosophy of what we have versus what we don't have and how to make the most of the attributes we have, instead of dwelling, on the ones we don't. I appreciate your kind words, and I am happy you enjoyed this piece.
    Thank you for the six-star rating!
    Have a great day,

Hi Jesse,

This is so uplifting! I am so glad I read this... I too, listen to the birds and wildlife that come into my yard each day. Their different songs bring such joy and to watch them interplay with the squirrels is more than entertaining :-) With your indominable spirit, I am sure you will walk again soon so you can walk that nature trail again!

This is the first of your work that I have had the pleasure of reading and look forward to reading more.

All the best,
Senyai
