Why can't we be more like my pets and live together in harmony?
Ok, they aren't always like this. Sometimes there are growls and hisses. But not always.
It's a nice moment, though.
Now that I'm retired, I catch more moments like this. Walks are more relaxed. Sitting on our back deck, I notice more about the world around me. I can get absorbed in the sky and clouds, the breeze through the trees, the birds at the bird feeder, the squirrels picking up what they can. We even have a frog living in the stump of the oak tree we cut down.
There it is, peering from its hidey-hole, in the lower part of the picture.
Yes, I still stress about the world and the suffering I see. I still worry if I've done the right thing. If I should have kept working...
But there is no denying the joy in the little things. And there are people that I love and who love me.
That is all for today.
Love,
T.M.
