Okay! Alright! Fine, I'll go!
Before I knew it, Autumn and I were strolling beside the Pacific ocean as it unfurled itself at our feet. I eventually climbed onto Autumn. She carried me in my oblivion as she splashed happily in the surf and shuffled after the seagulls. Finally, we reached our turn around point where Autumn normally kicks it into warp speed to get back to the trailer. But today she stopped and stood still. I lifted up my eyes and this is what I saw...

...And right away, I was glad I went...
... I was grateful for my great friend Autumn, who had carried me out of my darkness and into her light...I was grateful to Cindy for always giving me a lift into a better day!

Awesome, we live in a beautiful area! So lucky.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a spectacular photo. I know what those days feel like my friend... when you just don't have the energy. But going out for a walk in God's creation NEVER disappoints. It's the best medicine and it always turns out to be the best part of the day. You said it so well, "out of your darkness and into her light." What a great story and photo for your BOOK! Z.
ReplyDeleteLinked to the GGDHR facebook page! Hope you don't mind!
ReplyDeleteAs I too am at the darkness edge these days, not even wanting to go out, sans clothes, and see my shadow of the moon's glow. Tears rolled down my cheek, hurting for the great goddesses I know who did not go to the beach. You have given us courage to at least feel that we are not alone in that one feeling. there is great love here for you on a crisp winter day.
ReplyDeleteInspirational! OK, I'm gonna "Cowgirl Up" and get my big boy to the beach today. Nature is always a healing space for all of us critters suffering from the winter doldrums...
ReplyDeleteRiding my Charlie always makes me feel better. Beautiful picture captures the peace.
ReplyDeleteAs long as your alive with breath in your lungs there is the possibility to ride in any race in life you wish! Easier said than done so good for you for kicking your duldrums away for the beauty of the ride! I can picture the strands of gold in your long hair as the sun caught you in its light. Just like the fog entwinded with the sun so goes life itself.

It's nice to feel that it's okay to feel this way sometimes. It's also nice to know we're not alone when we are feeling in the dumps.

Sometimes we all get a bit down and want to just crawl under the covers. But you did the right thing and saw beauty in what was in front of your eyes --- life. Sometimes when I'm down, I think if your free spirit, your laughter and zest for life. Please continue to provide that to yourself and the rest of us. Love, Uncle Jeff
