Built to rise and soar

Ahhhhh… with a slight cool breeze and a calm ocean, the morning felt peaceful, beautiful, and restorative.

The sun rose from behind a line of clouds, sending a golden pathway of sparkles stretching all the way to shore. Clear blue sky waited patiently for the sun to climb higher, wrapping the beach in warmth as it arrived.

Several flocks were scattered along the water’s edge, ready for bath time. Several osprey lined up like planes at an airport—one after another diving with precision for breakfast.

Even though the waves were small, one osprey looked like it might be swallowed by the swell. Yet moments later, with flapping wings, she lifted up and gave herself a good shake.

The osprey said, “I am tenacious. I’m here to remind you that when the waves of life feel overwhelming, remember—you are stronger than you think, built to rise up and soar.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
