River Town for The Taking

Let Red Wing's River touch your life.  Shut off the media, turn off all notifications, take a deep breath and take a day-cation! This was my Sunday with the weekend off thank goodness too, because Monday arrived with what I'm still referring to as "living life in the surreal mode" honestly. Remembering also, my mother's all time motto of, everything happens for a reason. 

My first stop on my way to Red Wing, was here in New Trier, Minnesota. 

Today otherwise known today as a ghost town, not your usual Sunday.

(I took an all steeple photo shot along the way)

Red Wing, Minnesota abounds.

A favorite theater of mine.

Oops... hope this theme quickly ends.

Should you shield the canyons from the windstorms

you would never see the true beauty of their carvings.

If you're having trouble counting your blessings,

remember you are alive to count them.

Charles F. Glassman

Seek for you the blessings each day brings,

no matter their size.

The comforts from an old or new book

is just another gift to yourself.

Even the smallest changes in our daily routine 

can create the incredible ripple effects

that expand our vision of

what is possible.

Charles F. Glassman

Courage doesn't always roar. 

Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day

that says I'll try again tomorrow.

Mary Ann Radmacher

No waiting. Enjoy.

Rivers know this, there is no hurry.

 We shall get there someday.

A.A. Milne

It does not matter how slowly you go 

as long as you do not stop.

Keep moving forward.

Folks were out with their cameras and binoculars snapping eagles!

and I found a bench to eat my lunch and take it all in.

I shall post about Red Wing's many historical buildings one day. Yes I will.

This photo below was taken about 19 miles from Red Wing, and I felt it quite fitting for today's post.

Never stop fighting until you arrive at your 

destined place, that is, the unique you.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam

The key that unlocks everything important is this....

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself,

 and know that everything in life has purpose. 

There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings

given to us to learn from.
