I wish I could share with you the lovely moments of my special day - the cut up papaya with lemon as I awoke surrounded with flowers and cards. Or, the dancing that went on and balloon games we played. But all 220 pictures, somehow between the camera and the computer, got lost. It is a simple, easy lesson in letting go I guess.
It's a valuable lesson.
And so I've learned ONWARD AND UPWARD!
and so... for us, today, that meant my and Mylie's daily walk.
We first passed our peach tree that is blooming beautifully and will produce ridiculously delicious peaches very soon.
then, we stopped and stood where an old oak once stood for 30 some years, maybe more.
we admired every plant...
and every flower...
watched as a huge vulture floated in the sky above...
and as always Mylie sat to play with dirt and grass....
and then sat again to check out the grass that was growing through the asphalt...
especially loved the bee and all the work that he was doing to bring us such a gorgeous spring.
Love those walks with my girl! They are always peaceful. I notice things I never noticed before because Mylie takes her time to look and therefore so do I. Hurrying her up never works. I've learned to let her be. She's taking it all in and genuinely admiring the world around her.
And I could learn a thing or two from her -
slowing down to notice the small things in life (I really should count rings in a tree stump more often...really! or what it looks like in person to watch a bee's antenna go into a flower),
appreciating taking my time (reeeeeally taking my time to notice grass growing through asphalt! I would have passed that one by no doubt, but it was quite lovely to see a small patch of green in a sea of asphalt),
loving the details of life (and there are so many)...
Wishing you a lovely week full of details and mysterious findings.
