Sometimes I am in awe
Of the beauty of our earth, so beautiful; sturdy yet heartbreakingly easily damaged.
I stand in awe of this magnificent world we live upon!

What I love about each season is
the light! And the color of that season.
LOOK! As the sun came up —- a Sundog appeared! It is right in the sky by the basketball hoop!
Colder weather heading our way.

Boy, is it ever cold here! 4*f (-15.55c). With real feel -1*f (-18.33c) I know that doesn’t even compare to those who live up north, but for us—it’s cold!
Oh, well, (I tell myself) it is January after all. 🙂

I’ve been thinking about being 75—WHICH I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO BE!!!
And this is what I’ve come up with:
Being 75 is really rather neat. I’m still alive. I am still very mobile. I can still work and keep working hard and take a nap every afternoon to recharge! 🙂
But more than anything, I no longer care about all those things I used to care about when I was younger.
In the best possible of ways!
Getting older is a great and wonderful joy! You finally are at peace with yourself, your body, and (even) how to approach the world.
So, if I have one bit of advice from my very advanced age: EMBRACE your age, each and every step of the way!!

I was raking leaves—when my really cute hubby came by

There was then—-the grass was green, we had leaves on the trees
Out I would go early in the morning to spend the whole day outside
Now—the grass is dry, the leaves are gone and it’s been cold baby–so cold I had trouble staying outside
Still out I go with Mom and Boo Berry each and every morning
For after all there are things to do—MOUSE!
Stuff to play with —-LEAF
Smells to smell—ugh! Stray cat!
Cold or not—
hot or not
There are things I need/must do
Until it is time
To go inside!

I love the music of the early morning, and
When the choir sings in the evening.
I Love both times—I really do!

I have a theory—-or at least a comforting thought— I wonder if we were really never cast out of Eden—our heads, bodies, and minds were just turned away so we shut our eyes afraid.
But, maybe, just maybe (anyhow this is how I like to think) if we open our eyes, turn our heads and bodies, and MINDS back around, maybe three times like dogs do before they lay down—we are redeemed and can see Eden again! How can anything be more beautiful than this amazing gorgeous Earth!

And one standing alone just for my eyes to find!
Hearts! A gift from the Earth to me and now for you!
