Moment of Rest

Dear Friends,

God bless you and your loved ones.

Have you ever laid under a tree as a child watching the wind blow through the branches?

This morning I got to sleep in which is a rare occasion for me and I enjoyed feeling the dog snuggle up to my right side while the cat snuggled up to my left.  I cracked open the curtain to see the wind whipping the branches of the tree just outside of our bedroom window.

It took me back to my childhood when I spent whole days playing under the limbs of the willows in our yard, often watching the movement of the branches in the wind.  I loved that time in my life, when I had all the time in the world to daydream and observe everything that caught my fancy.  I loved petting caterpillars, building nests for birds out of dried grass clippings and dressing our kittens up in doll clothes.

Whenever I am called back into that innocent world by some smell or sight, I relax and feel the joy of being alive. 

I hope that you get transported back into some of your happiest memories by some pleasant trigger sometime soon.

Love, Sue
