I am a stay at home mom of two. I love my morning coffee and my afternoon tea. I love spending time with my family. In my spare time I love to read and especially write. I hope what I share on here all of you will enjoy.
I’ll never tire of this .I can’t imagine living where the lakes never meet the moutains, life would just feel wrong to me. When I sit and just stare off into those mountain’s my thoughts find there answers. Challenges feel less heavy. And life flows like the rivers finding there outlet to whatever is possible. With these ever changing times its comforting to know that this view never will never change.
The Fall Nor’ester is pounding down on us this weekend expecially today a day to stay in with a hot cup of tea or coffee Ive had several coffees .. and enjoy a good book or movie with the rain pausing here and there on Saturday I was able to get in a quick walk before the rain had my walk turning into a slight jog. Its hard to wrap my mind around that its already been a week that I’ve left my Son’s place in the beautiful White Mountains and Littleton NH. I’m finding to be my home away from home. Its so hard to leave. Happy to find that the foliage here is finally showing its beautiful site. Maybe it got jealous that I carried the beautifulness of the foliage back home with me in my heart that it need to show me it existed here. Nature as come so precious to me over the last several years that its incorporated into my my everyday life like a life line to my soul teaching me to be more aware to what is around me. And how I see things in such different ways. Teaching me to be more patient and peaceful and most important to take nothing in this world for granted.
Today Fall felt a bit closer the leaves popping here there with color so far a lot of red .I’m excited( haha) love this time of year. So nature was calling to me to come out and play so off to one of my favorite places to walk along the waters edge. The chilly breeze blowing along the lake was peaceful to listen to as I moved along on a slow but steady pace taking in everything all around me. When I found my way back to my car there was a lady doing the same she stop and told me how beautiful she found this place stopping to stretch her legs for moment on her way to Maine to visit her parents . What a beautiful lady and I don’t mean her looks but yes she was but who she was inside such a beautiful vibrant energy that radiated from her and the warmth and good hearted soul she carried was just so pleasant to just sit and carry on a conversation. If you know me which not many on here I really don’t share much about who I am in general but I’m a chatter box and I love long and deep conversations. its not easy to find those conversation anymore but when I do its such a blessing it let’s you know there’s still beautiful people who enjoy the same thing.
A quiet low key 9/11 the way it should be …the way life should be We fill our days with so many things and sadly the thirst never gets qenched. Sadly I have felt this to be honest at times I still do. Working on changing that. Is it social media is it this backwards chaotic world we live in that I must say social media as created ? Where we supposably are trying to connect us to everything to feel apart of but instead it makes us more lonely, more judging doubting who we are are because we are not going,doing being what everyone is being and doing? What a hamster wheel we find ourselves on running in circles and gaining nothing and learning nothing of this . Im at the lake finishing a walk as the wind is a bit much today slapping my hair in my face pushing me long to finish and go home and find a warm sunny spot sit down with a book and read like the ones sitting near the water are doing making me crave this life more
Laid back labor Day weekend it is. I really don’t celebrate it anymore now that my kids are adults they do there thing . Today though my sister and I decided we wanted to check out the country stores in Vermont so we drove through White River Junction, Woodstock and Killington to grab some dinner on our way back home. The mountains and the peacfullness just pulls on my heart. I can’t imagine living in a area where there is no mountains .we stopped at a the Quechee Gorge country outlets lots to see I think we spent hours in there taking it all in. And then we went to find the Gorge breathtaking it was the beautiful work of nature is so priceless. What we take for granted is quite tearful. We drove through Woodstock just taking in how laid back life seems there life just feels simple . My sister found this cute little restaurant called Casey’s Caboose bitterly felt the vibe of being in a caboose where we ate I have a story to share about that but at another time since its getting late and my eyes are getting heavy. But I just wanted to share the simplness of this day and some photos I enjoyed taking along the way before I went to aleep.
Love when these little moments happen. Its been a bit since I walked along this beautiful lake. I love this time of year the air seems a little bit cooler and fresher after the scorching summer heat. I missed the geese by seconds has they were in flight .I’ll get them next time but as I was saying I love when these moments happen…. I looked up and there in the clouds a tiny heart layed over the lake .Its nice to see these little blessings again Do you see it?
In this chaotic exhausting life nature,wildlife seems to to bring calmness to my overthinking thoughts bring back some peace to my heart . Letting me find some moments of balance to hold on to as each day arrives with uncertainty. Sunday afternoon my daughter and I took a drive she wanted to show me the places she finds her peaceful moments, we were lucky to capture wildlife at its most precious moments. The doe and her fawn new we were stopped and we both agreed the doe knew we were not a threat as she watched as her fawn cautiously made its way to back to her .Moments like this and the calmness of the ever still water let’s everything this world is trying so hard to to make us forget and bring back to us what is so important Moments to pause and just breathe ,the importanceof family and so many other things that you find so precious. My list is long I must admit. If only more people could realize this.
The brightness of the Lunar Eclipsel moon is keeping me awake tonight as intense this moon is my thoughts are not weaved with in webs in the corner of my mind so many things have changed this summer it has been one endless chapter after another each page revealing different ways to navigate these days. And my heart embracing every moment. Maybe this is the work of the Full moon. Clarity at its best As I try to finish this post a yawn sneaks out and my eyes are feeling heavy its time to get some sleep. And finish this another day.
Time is always moving forward and life is forever changing course whether its new paths , one more year older things never stay the same. So this week with a new path approaching moving out of my place . my life I’ve had for about 6 yrs finding this diamond at a time of my divorce and finding my independence that got swept under the rug at the door I exited out of . My kids adults and starting there own paths I was assured
I needed to do . This place of 6years has given me the wings I need to leave that time and find the security and finacial balance for my later yrs. One floor no stairs . And a bit more of a smaller place .less maintenance miniamalizing my life , more time spent with traveling to see my kids more and my close friends and spending time out in nature doing what I come to love so much capturing moments on camera and enjoying being out in nature. As I do im taking it one step at a time and enjoying the moments.
