Looking up can mean many things! 

It may mean keeping a good attitude.  An attitude that is positive and with a clear perspective.  As a business woman, I look up to people who are goal setters.  People who have made their way honestly in the world.   Those that mentor to others and help guide the younger generations are my heroes.   I have always appreciated good teachers that had loads of patience; those that were able to convey knowledge clearly.  Do you have people in your past that gave you insight?  What lessons can you or have you taken away from knowing them?

Looking up may also mean one looks to God for strength, direction, and an increase in hope.  It is hard to look at life through a time of crisis or when things just don’t seem to be going the way needed.   Those with a relationship to the creator find hope and guidance.  Looking up can give us clarity and understanding.  Like anything else, the more we rely on faith, the better we become at trusting in the plan designed for us.   God can help us forge ahead in making decisions that we face each day.  Are you or do you know people that find strength and meaning from above?File Apr 14, 1 52 36 PM

It can simply mean “to look up” and see what is happening above you.  The evening sky reveals the next days weather.   The stars give hope and tranquility to a summer’s night.  Recognizing a crack in the ceiling or one that is wet overhead, may be a clue to move quickly or address a larger problem.  Our priorities when change with a pending issue!

Nature is a wonderful place to enjoy when we are alone or with other people.  Looking up at this tree that is usually loaded with squirrels, showed me that there was space for rent this year.  No nests were apparent!   It’ll be interesting to see who or what moves in!  We have had a variety of birds there over the last 43 years.  The tree has self pruned many years and so I always look up to see how safe it is to walk underneath it.  It provides wonderful shade for the bench located beneath.  The tree has held pinatas and children’s swings over the years.  Many smiles and moments of joy have occurred underneath its branches.

Keep looking up and “Delight in Living”!
