LOVE THESE BIRKS.
And does this yellow watch just make you happy or what?

I just love this time of year. Yesterday I wasn't in a bad mood, just kind of subdued and contemplative as I thought about the path of my life and the unknowns in the future. I took a nap to turn my brain off, but it didn't really help. Soo.. I decided to go for a run. There is nothing like going for a run in 60 degree weather with the sun on your face after a long winter. My whole mood lifted and as I was running I felt SO thankful for such a beautiful earth and especially for the Creator of such a beautiful earth. I feel closer to God when I'm out in nature than any other time. I love the sun. I love that the grass is turning green. I love that I can hear birds chirping outside my windows in the morning. I love that it's warm enough to wear light jackets, or NO jackets! I love that I can ride my bike around without freezing my buns off. I love that school is almost out. It's such a good time of year and I am just thankful to be alive and experiencing it!

Jill, the birks look like some kind of predatory insect...or maybe a lizard, take your pick.

the watch, obviously, signals that you've been staring into the sun too much, transfixed into some sort of trance...
ReplyDeleteand regarding the earth, I agree with much of what you said...nature, the sun, the beautiful earth, BUT; here's where we diverge: greenery, birds chirping, jackets and bikes, I can do without. HOWEVER, Ice-covered roads, skis, winter storm warnings, a few rabbits and foxes pilfering around, and lots and lots of cold coldness, etc. I can live with. I feel closer to some sort of creator when those things are around.
