Good morning, everyone!!!
This same woods in the picture above is now amazingly green and looks so different than when we walked them over the winter months. As often as my sister and I walk through them, you would think we would know our way around them. Last night we got lost believe it or not LOL.
Big Rock Bend, a place we named over the winter months for the large (very large) rock that sat in the middle of the creek, is now Rockless, LOL. Let's just say it took a LOT of work to get that baby out of there, but now it sits up by the house where every time we look at it, we will laugh. Not just because of all the laughter it brought us over the winter when we cleaned out the creek, but also because of the insanity it took for us to get it out of that blasted creek, up the steep incline, through the trees, and down the path to the house LOL.
Three and a half hours to bring up a load of rocks. Three and a half hours of the sweet scent of the woods. Three and a half hours of laughter. I adore the interesting things we find ourselves getting into when we step away from the world and into those woods.
Yesterday was a hard day for me. I woke up not feeling the day at all. I figured out a good portion of the 'why' of it realizing that I had only one real day off from the day job the entire week. I was upset about upsetting a coworker until I really thought about things last night, then it sort of washed over me. I don't have the energy for that sort of thing. So, I just go on. What happens, well, it happens. I can't let the negative in when there was really no reason for it.
I was upset about all the nonsense with the stupid lies and rumors from someone close to me. Then I realized, just let it go or it will eat you alive. So, I let it go.
I took in the fresh air of nature and allowed it to transform my mood. I was blessed to be able to walk through those woods, blessed to be able to get down in the dirt and attempt to help move a rock bigger than we. I'm blessed to be able to laugh at the silliness we find ourselves getting into. Even though we're grown adults. I'm blessed to be able to breathe in the good and release the bad.
One of my nieces surprised me with the most simple gift, but it brought tears to my eyes. Why? Because she thought of me on Mother's Day. Why? Because it was so thought out, so special to who I am, that it touched me.
It was the second time tears were brought to my eyes yesterday. A man here in town came to our store and handed me $100 to put down on raffle tickets to hand out to customers. I was so overwhelmed at his kindness.
Well I guess I should start this week off on the right foot and leave the bitterness behind me.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
