Reach for new heights.
Rise above it all.
There is beauty as far as the eye can see.
Be uplifting.
Patience, patience, patience.
Get to the point.
Enjoy the view!
I took the photo above during one of our trips to Colorado to visit my son and daughter-in-law. It was taken from a rest stop on US 36, the route from the city of Denver to the city of Boulder.
The Rocky Mountains loom up in front as we drive, and literally take our breath away! I love this view, and the enduring strength and beauty of those mountains. They make my spirit soar!
We are patiently waiting for the birth of our grandson .... another week.....or maybe sooner.... or maybe later.
Like the mountains advise : Patience , patience, patience!
Oh Pat, its just so exciting..waiting for the baby. Here's hoping for a safe delivery and we cant wait to see him. Wise advise from the mountain alright, beautiful picture. Big hugs :D
ReplyDeleteLove your picture. We hope to move back to Colorado in another year.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting awaiting your grandchild! Sending joy, good wishes and blessings your way.

Hi Pat,

I love the advice from a mountain and your picture!
Let us know when you get the news!

Patience...i could use some of that right now lol! Beautiful pic...I would love to visit Colorado..or Montana...or Oregon...or..... :-)
ReplyDeleteIt will all be worth the wait when he finally arrives! What will his name be?
ReplyDeleteThis waiting...it's a tough business. I'm keeping you all tucked in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful post, Pat. I appreciate its calm message today.
Pat,
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredibly beautiful shot! How lovely! And just look at the colors!
Sending much love to you as your await this blessed arrival!
Happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and yours.
XO,
Sheila
Maybe you'll have a Thanksgiving baby! The anticipation is so exciting but the arrival is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI've driven to the Rocky Mountains from both directions, East and West. Driving from the east TO the west is more breathtaking because you have been going across the Great Plains and ALL OF A SUDDEN there are those magnificent peaks looming over you. Driving from the west they kind of sneak up on you as you wind higher and higher and then you think, WOW, where am I, How did I get here?These mountains are high!
Oh my gosh! I can't believe how close the big day is. I'll be waiting on the edge of my keyboard for the good news...I could use some good news (what a WEEK we've had in shore house land).
ReplyDeleteI knew that view as soon as I saw the photo. I drove right by that spot every workday when I lived in Boulder and worked down at the University Hospital in Denver...it almost made me cry with nostalgia. It is a beautiful site...just like the site of that new grand baby! Savor the anticipation...he's almost here!!!
ReplyDeleteOh...the waiting! We've done that twice this year...and it's so hard to be patient. I'll be awaiting your grand announcement!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorting through my San Diego photos. We saw many of the same sights...and even had lunch at the same place (Casa de Reyes). What fun!
Oh Pat this is an AMAZING photo! Being from Florida you would think I'd be all about the ocean but I am so much more into the mountains! ~Stunning~
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. Keep us posted on the new little guy. ~Melissa :)
Hi Pat...Beautiful advice from the mountain! Wouldn't it be something if baby comes Thanksgiving Day...then all of the U.S. would be celebrating...LOL ♥ Bo ♥
ReplyDeleteOh Pat, You are about to meet your first grandson, how truly magical this holiday will be for you all. I will be waiting for your news, warmest wishes my friend, Kathy.
ReplyDeletePat, as I pulled your blog up I was thinking that it won't be long now until your little grandson will be here. Imagine my surprise to see that we were thinking about the same thing! I know you can't wait.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's mother in law's friends gave a shower for my daughter last night. What fun to see all the tiny little things for our little one to come.
In catching up on other posts, I read that your daughter just turned 27. Mine was 27 this year too. It seems like a lot of things in our lives are parallel!
Great advice!
ReplyDeleteOh, those last moments are so beautiful, I hope everything are going to be ok. I'm waiting as impatiently as you.
ReplyDeleteNooo not at all hearing impatience in your post Pat lol.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's easier to move mountains than to wait for babies to make their debut?
Lovely pic.
Hi Pat!
ReplyDeleteYour mountain photo is so beautiful. I wish you and your soon to be expanding family a Happy Thanksgiving!
Take care,
Martha
What majestic beauty! I can't wait to read about your new little baby. He will have such a great welcome party I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture and poem. How exciting...a new baby! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may you and your family....and that new one, be blessed. Strider
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful holiday gift to be waiting for!!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat
ReplyDeleteSo thrilling! Can't wait to hear your good news!
Patience and the library, the Colorado Mountains(home) and we also await the birth of a new grandchild (# 12) a girl. Seems like your current post has everything I love. Best wishes to your new baby and the mother and have a great trip.
