Afternoon thought on this day

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

Beautiful moments

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.

Just in time

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?

Nature = peace

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. 

Full Moons

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.

Finding balance

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.

Just start writing

Its 10 at night finishing reading my newest book I got at the bookstore but my mind was a bit restless still to settle into some sleep. With writing you can pick a pen up  so to speak up at anytime. As you can to put it back down again. Words are forever In you when your thoughts and your heart is ready to release them . Its been awhile new perspective, new home, but still me. Life is forever a learning experience and this chaotic world keeps us on our toes. But as the words keep flowing as do our our will ,keeping us moving one step at a time . So a new chapter once again to share. Time for some sleep.

Somethings you will never forget

Timeless

Nature is slowly waking. The snow has melted and gone in certain places and the birds sounding different then in the winter time .life here is peaceful and slow  moving thank God for such blessings with all the turmoil in the world the slow pace is comforting and safe. Here I sit with the warm sun on my face  here there the mist of nature gently touching my skin the Historic glacier Potholes are intense the sound of the waters flow  echoing like a roar of the mountains giving passerbys a breathtaking view. Moments like this are precious and priceless .

Getting through

Im still here ..its been a bit just been drudging through the last days of this long winter. I’m sure I’m not the only one. The long days have left me tired  with being  cozy. Ready to feel the grass under my feet and the scent of flowers blowing softly in the breeze.  Thankfully the days have gotten a bit more mild here an there with the off and on present of winter still pounding on the door. With the milder temps I’ve been able to get back outside to enjoy my walks along  the water and with nature guiding me with each step. Nothing helps the soul but being outside in the fresh air . Here is some beautiful sites I’ve been so happy to finally capture and share with you.
