lessons from nature
the sun came out, and i had thoughts in my head, so i took the pup to the trail by the lake. he wandered while i wrote.
everything around me was full of light & color & life.
blue & yellow wildflowers were nestled near tree trunks and in open meadows.
purple & white lilacs swayed back and forth in the wind.
the water was deep blue in color, the grasses and leaves bright green. the sunlight sparkled on the water while the waves lapped at the shore.
a flock of canadian geese took to flight as atlas drew near.
i don’t know why, but it made me think about money and how sometimes, when you don’t have much, you think that having more would change everything. i realized that, in truth, those tiny moments of joy + beauty would be exactly the same.
no matter what is going on in my life, i want to notice + appreciate them.
Money buys you things, but many of life’s most precious moments of joy and beauty are free if you only take the time to notice and appreciate them.
You always take the time…and then take even more time to share them.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
For some reason, you made me think of the phrases “time is money” and “spend our time”. As in, we can demonstrate what is important to us with both time and money.
I’m glad you enjoy the moments. Thank you for sharing this!
