Lighter

A mist hangs in the distance as an overcast sky provides containment for the moisture laden fields. Some severe storms passed through last evening from the south on their northern trekked journey. Gusts of wind and rain drenched the landscape and the garden bringing needed water and unwelcomed blows. Unsecured flower pots and light weight yard furniture became unsuspecting victims of the blows. Today presents opportunities for collecting and correcting the wayward objects from their windblown locations back to their decorative stations. A reprieve from the unseasonable heat has followed the line of storms and we give thanks for greater comfort in pursuing our restoration tasks. Experience has taught this boomer that gratitude makes the task of restoration or repair easier to endure. The load seems lighter in the presence of gratitude than under the weight of pessimism or perceived burdens. May your day be brightened in the presence of thankfulness and your burdens lightened by arms filled with gratitude!
