i was magnificently gifted with this storyfrom a friend
& included now is my illustration…
the text reads as follows:
a blue bird came to me this morning.
wake up, wake up was his song.
go away, go away, i don’t want to start my day.
but the day is beautiful.
i don’t care…
the blue bird kept nagging & begging,
get up, go out, the sun will warm you.
leave me alone…
the blue bird flew away,
up high into the sky.
it came back with a ray from the sun
& laid it on my face.
i got up & went out.
it was a beautiful day…

(blue bird love to each of YOU today. xox)
A perfect little story for me especially at this time of year–Thank You!! 🙂
“Get up, go out,
the sun will warm you”
…rings like a clear
beautiful bell to my
heart this morning.

This is so special. I love it!
It IS a beautiful day! Wishing I had a persistent bluebird to help me out with songs and sunbeams 😉
Lovely start to a January Monday morning!

There is something really special about his piece, Rachel. I am trying to find the words . . . spiritual, God-like, Universe talking . . . not sure, but it is fabulous!
Lovely! 🙂
Brought a smile to my face, definitely. Thanks for a lovely first thought for a Monday morning.
your art for this sweet and inspiring story
is lovely as can be~
How beatiful to place words from a friend into your art.
love this piece!
i got up and went out.
i sat outside this morning in the cold.
it was not too cold, i had a warm sweater and a cup of coffee in hand. it was so very good to be outside, with the cold and snow we have had i have stayed inside too long.
fresh air is so needed is it not??
Grace and peace to you dear Rachel
this is touchingly beautiful …
This is fabulous. It would make a great children’s book!
This is so sweet!!
