Yesterday was a beautiful day. We’d had a rainy Easter Day but Easter Monday was beautiful. In the evening, we set up our new raised garden and filled it with some good clean soil and let it breathe for a bit. I decided to sit for a bit in my swing and DH came out and joined me.
There was such a lovely breeze, the birds were chirping and flying about overhead. I felt such contentment.
Lately, I feel anything but contentment as I worry over the state of things but it was nice to just sit back and BE yesterday. Sit back and enjoy being outside. I didn’t even care if my allergies were going to get the best of me later.
I just was…
alive…
at peace…
quiet…
content.
There are so many things in life to worry about… my kids, DH, my mom, my siblings, the country….
I have to remind myself every now and then that I need to let all that go and just be…
just relax and listen to the wind, the birds, the laughter of the neighbor children…
just be…
be present in the moment without worry for the next.
Just be…
No need to busy my hands with crochet, my eyes with reading, my ears with music/TV/chatter…
Just be…
A different kind of listening…
I took time yesterday evening for that and it was lovely.
DH and I followed it with a short walk and then a little television and crochet but taking even those few moments to just be…
Well, it was bliss.
Until next time… ♥️
