This season of life I’m in isn’t the best. There’s no need for worry. I don’t need counseling or a spa day. No need for a major life shake-up either. The phrase “it is what it is” comes to mind a lot more than normal and I’m the kind of tired that can’t be cured by a good night’s sleep.
It is what it is.
But it’s a season of life rather than the way it will always be. So it’s ok.
I’m starting to allow my mind to wander into adventure season. Oh, the places I might go! I’m currently craving outdoor time and a road trip. The thought of throwing open the windows, getting rid of most everything I own and scrubbing clean what’s left is sounding more appealing by the day.
Again, don’t worry. This happens every year at this time and I solemnly promise not to pitch my couch and my entire wardrobe out into the front yard!
Even if it is tempting.
For now, I’m settling for short bursts of outdoor time because fresh air is good for the mind, body and spirit. On Tuesday night I went to Lake Alma State Park for a walk on the busy bike path. It wasn’t quite the outdoor fun I had planned but it at least was some fresh air and exercise
I marveled at the water. Look how glassy and still it is! The trees remain bare as it isn’t white time for the spring bloomers. The sky was a brilliant blue we typically don’t see this time of year.
Calm water. Still water. It’s what I needed on that day and at that time. If only everything else could be so easy as beautiful nature reflected in calm water!
My mom would always say the only constant thing about life is change. I know you will be just fine. Perhaps you just need more sunshine – and being out in nature! You do sound like a future RV’er. 🙂
Haha. I must confess that I’m intrigued by your lifestyle Betty!
Life has its peaks and valleys and this time of year is always like this. No need to worry – it will be better in about six weeks. That’s not so bad!
We all have ups and downs. 🙂
Exactly!! Meanwhile, maybe I can start thinking about my future life as an RV-er!
Sometimes in life we all experience a moment in time when, ” It is what it is.” However, your feet won’t visit there long, and you will be sharing all the wonderment you find on your sojourns!!!
I just have to keep moving forward. Things will shift again in about six weeks and adventures will be up and running again. Thanks for the encouragement!
A beautifully balanced photo, adding a bit of balance to your day!
Hey, I got a nice comment on my blog today from someone who got a found photo from me last year – that made my day.
Thank you! It was a gorgeous end to the day.
That’s wonderful! I really love the work you do so I’m glad one of your recipients appreciates it too!
Wonderful photo.
Thank you!!
