I sat down this morning with the usual thoughts in my head..."what am I going to explore and write about, today?"
There were definitely a variety of possible candidates, but as I was mulling that over — and actually feeling a bit bored by the whole idea of writing about something "deep and meaningful" — nature provided my answer:
I looked up, and this little family of three had stopped in for a morning snack in our back yard, no more than 15 paces away.
It was a reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is simply to let our brains go slack.
Life is usually pretty complicated and often stressful... and perhaps we put undue pressure on ourselves to "accomplish" something with our time, all the time.
Strange as it might sound, I "gave myself permission" to just forget about trying to put together some kind of meaningful message... and instead I just sat and watched the deer family, while sipping my coffee.
Sunchronized deer butts!
It was also a poignant reminder of how important just appreciating the simple things in life can be.
At the end of their 10-minute visit, I has a much better attitude about my day, overall! And decided that office work and eBay will keep till later... and instead I would spend most of the day working in the yard.
Hello!
I also like the way it felt like *"the right answer" about what to write came all by itself, without my having to force anything.
In it's own way, this WAS "Natural Medicine!"
Thanks for sharing in the moment with me, and I hope you are having a beautiful — and relaxing — day!
