I know my blog has been a bit of a downer lately…
I woke to the most magnificent day today
and remembered a cornfield I told my dear friend,
Natalie, from Sacred Touches,
I wanted to visit. The link is to her
blog post that reminded me.
Oh, there she is….
The star of the show!
“The corn is as high as an elephant’s eye,
An’ it looks like it climbin’ clear up to the sky.”
(I can remember “The Momma”
singing that to me when
I was a child!)
“Oh what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I’ve got a wonderful feeling,
Everything’s going my way.”
Stacked neatly in rows,
just how I would like my life to be,
but alas, sometimes it is not.
Yes, sometimes you have to
navigate some weeds
to get to the fruit (or vegetable)
of your labors.
And sometimes,
you can even make art
out of the weeds!
And sometimes,
you just have to lay down
and let it go.
😉
Blessitude

** Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Good morning is not just a word, its an action and a belief to live the entire day well. Morning is the time when you set the tone for the rest of the day. Set it right!
Hi Dear Mihran!! Yes!! Yes to everything you wrote. This day is absolutely stunning!!! Much love to you <3
Reblogged this on mihran Kalaydjian and commented:
OH! What a Beautiful Morning…
Thank you so much…I appreciate you Mihran!! <3
Amen for the hot water!! Love the corn fields, reminds me of my youth growing up in Iowa!!
Hey Kirt…I hate to waste water when so many suffer from draught….but I really want to take a 45 minute shower tomorrow!! And by the way…my intention is THAT IT WILL BE FIXED TOMORROW! The other things in my life will take a little longer 🙂 Glad you liked the corn field…it was stunningly beautiful! <3
I forgot to mention that I was happy for your happiness…my bad! Thanks!
No bad Kirt 🙂 Have a super day!!
beautiful part of the day..the beginning 🙂
Yes Zara…the beginning is so important 🙂 Thanks for stopping by <3
Hi Lorrie! This is beautiful. Many blessings to you dear lady! 🙂
Hi Sylvia!! Thank you so much! I hope this beautiful day finds you full of love and full of peace!!! <3
Hi there Lorrie! You’re welcome and thank you. I am full of love and working very hard on the ‘peace’ part! A work in progress I guess you could say! Much love and blessings to you dear lady! <3
Dear Sylvia…we are all works in progress 🙂 Love to you <3
I’m happy for you Lorrie. This is a fun and wise post, reminding us to keep reaching for the sky like a cornstalk and don’t worry too much about the weeds. And if all else fails, take a break! XD I’m delighted your energy is flowing up! Mine next please. 🙂
Ahhhh! Sending as much love and positive energy that I can dear Brad! I love how you deciphered my post 🙂 It is a truly beautiful day…a gift! I have been a little low and this has recharged me (amongst other things!) Much love to you!! <3
I’m glad you’re recharged Lorrie. 🙂 Thanks for your love and positive energy. <3

@"And sometimes, you can even make art out of the weeds!" – you're sooo right, Lady Lorrie… 🙂 just like these Alpine thistles as nice as other flowers 🙂

Thank you Me’lanie! ! Yes…feeling much better!! I will hop on over to your link!! 🙂
wonderful to experience
the clouds passing into warmth 🙂
Yes! With much understanding! What could be better? Hope you are also vibrating high! 🙂
thanks lorrie!
my day is filled
with the energy
of love and happiness 🙂
In a shiny little surrey with a fringe on the top!
Such a beautiful sky filled with limitless possibilities! How beautiful and so filled with energy, love and happiness.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Louise! The sky was so brilliant!! It is for sure an aide to whatever ails you! 🙂
Thank you for being real and inspiring us through the highs and lows that we call life 🙂
Hugs,
Val
p.s. good to feel your energy 🙂
Hi Val!! Thank you so much 🙂 it is so wonderful to feel like the me I want to be again!!! Much love to you <3
Oh what a great song, and a beautiful post 🙂 my mom used to wake us up in the mornings singing that one! Glad things are looking up and that your hot water is being fixed soon! Blessings, my friend!!
Hey Julie! Isn’t it a great one? It brings back such great memories 🙂 Hope all is super in your world <3 Thanks!
Your inspired mood has successfully tumbled out into your blog post sweet Lorrie. I love the analogy between corn rows and life…so true that we (I!) seek that kind of organization and symmetry yet rarely find it. Life is meant to weave and bob like the weeds isn’t it? Loved the post!
Hey Lisa! Bobbing and weaving …oh my! 🙂 Yes…you are correct …I must resign my need for symmetry I suppose. What if I frame it in the word Balance 🙂 yeah…good try! I know …i need to “roll with it!” Thank you and glad my inspiration showed 🙂
Everything is going your way. Sometimes we just need to take a step back to see it. Cyber hugs my friend, Lorinda
Your post so got to me today…just as your words do here! Yes, a good step back…or how about a “fly over” and we can see it all! Much love and many blessings to you!! <3
This was AWESOME Lorrie! First of all, there were so many different stories all in one —- Beautiful pictures and memories of corn fields, life and the many directions and forms it can take, knowing when to let go and let God … your mom, and the song you had me singing right along with you. This was wonderful! <3 Kimberly
Hi Kimberly. ..Thank you so much!! You really got all my nuances. The day was so lovely. ..I took probably 50 photos…had no idea what I would write…and it all just came together!!! Kind of like life!!! <3
Accepting the waves of thought that we encounter is so important. I do know people that are “perpetually perfect and sunny” but they have such holes in their lives. Their image becomes a false sense of reality to hide unworthiness. Embrace imperfection, girlfriend!
“Oh, I’ve got me some warts!” Hehe 🙂
I love what you said…and I believe it too! It’s so amazing for me…because it really feels like a new level of understanding now after I go through a bad patch. I really am very grateful for everything in my life…I have such faith that I am walking on the perfect path for me 🙂 I hope you are walking in love and peace!! <3
Yea for the up feelings! Happy for you.
Oh, Dennis…Thank you!! I knew I’d be back!! And I want you to know your gift helped me! You are a blessing to me <3
You’re so welcome Lorrie, my pleasure! I love the way you bring so many different aspects into your writing — it’s like a poetic roller coaster and you never know what’s around the next turn – just love it11!! <3
How sweet of you to dedicate this post to me, missy. And I loved it!! I’m so glad to see that your spirits were lifted today. Who knew that corn would be the day’s catalyst for finding joy! God is soooooo good!!! Love and hugs and blessings, Natalie 🙂
No truer words were ever spoken!! Yes, corn was my catalyst for joy (prompted by the love and compassion of you and other wonderful people!) So, I thank you!!! Much love…many blessings…Blessitude!!
Wondrous blue sky and beautiful words, I love what your Momma’s song! THANK YOU LORRIE 🙂 xxoo
Hello my dearest Magnificent Frédéric!! The Momma loved to sing that song…I think I will call her and sing it to her today!! Thank you!! You are such a dear friend…I send you the energy I received from that big beautiful blue sky yesterday…and I send you much love!! <3 🙂
Happy good morning to you – if only a day late!
We are always here for you dear Lorrie! That is one of my favorite songs that I often awaken with in my head! xoxo
That does not surprise me dear friend!! And that would be precisely why you end up having a beautiful day!!! I think I will make it my new morning mantra!! Thank you, your support is incredible!! <2
Yeah! So glad you are on an upbeat mood! Thanks for sharing all the intense blue sky and the corn heights. 🙂
Hi Brenda! Yesterday was incredible….but today I am off the charts!! The beautiful thing about a low is when the energy changes…watch out!!! 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
I love when it all comes together and times are joyous. 🙂 I had a few days like that recently, too.
Love your gratitude-filled post Lorrie 🙂
Hi Carolyn!! Thank you so much! It was so wonderful to come out of my slump! 🙂
Love the farm shots. 🙂
I could feel the warmth of the sun…very nice.
Oh..thank you! I’m so happy you stopped by…and that you liked it! 🙂
