Ever have those harder then usual days, the ones where you hold your hope in the hand that pulls back the blind, wishing to see sunshine, and instead see only gloom, and grey skies? Waiting for glimmers of a brighter day?
Yeh, me either…lol, and then the bills come in the mail. What a day.
Glimmers are what makes life bearable, wonderful, they shine in our eyes when the sun won’t do it. Glimmers are the ice cream cone on a hot day, treats that taste like they have no calories, the shade when you are burning up from the sun.
Glimmers are the cat rubbing against your leg during a walk through the neighbourhood, and a dog that wags it’s tail instead of barking at you as you walk by. The friendly hello from a stranger whom you thought looked angry, and a flash of bird’s wings through a flowering shrub.
They are unexpected moments, glimmers of a better day, and it’s just waiting to peek out of those gloomy skies.
Glimmers are in the moment during watering your garden you realize that the sound you hear is not a lawnmower, but the chirping of baby birds in the tree.
Glimmers make us smile, glimmers brighten our days…
Have you encountered any glimmers yet today?

Ah.... one of my glimmers is to visit here!
ReplyDeleteWish I could take such stunning pics...what a talent!
It would be awesome if you where coming to Scout Market......but then you would have to leave that great big country area you live in!
So lovely. I see you may have been blessed with a lovely garden from the former owners. I too hate the sound of all the lawnmowers and here it is the noisy obnoxious leaf blowers all the gardeners use. I wish our city would ban them like some have. Boy I am grumpy about them aren't I?
ReplyDeleteI live for those glimmers too Jen girl. They are rare at times .. and funny enough those are the times you need them the most ? LOL
ReplyDeleteBut YES!! I had two beautiful glimmers when I found my corkscrew hazel in purple and .. that amazing miracle of the Black Swallowtail butterfly that emerged from the cocoon I kept in the fridge all winter .. now who could ask for more?

Glimmer me to the MAX !! haha
I encounter more glimmers here than I ever have before. I think the baby birds are just testing out their wings here. It seems early, but I've seen several very low flying, less than confident birds skim the grass to come in for a landing.
ReplyDeleteI've been missing out...I haven't been looking for them! I'll make it a goal to find some glimmers today! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI too love glimmers of peace and joy when I take my walks! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWow - these rainy shots are dreamy, luscious, delightful!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'd better not tell you we're having a heatwave at the moment! ;-)
We all need those glimmers to make life beautiful. Lovely pictures as always Jen. Have a wonderful week and weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes get my first glimmer first thing in the morning, when I get up and peek out of my bedroom window at the back garden, and listen to the birds. Usually still bleary-eyed and without coffee yet. But it often cheers me up, even when it's raining.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post and reminder to not overlook those little glimmers that sometimes we don't appreciate!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it all about glimmers, Jen? What a pathetic, desperate, place this world would be without our glimmers....Wonderful post....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (PS - Is that second photo sedum? Or creeping Jenny? or neither???)
ReplyDeleteThis post is a glimmer...I love my garden because of the glimmers I find there everyday!
ReplyDeleteOkay I will try and look for some:)
