I am alive and thriving today. The weather was big help. I started my day by visiting a place that feeds both my body and soul, Simply Nutrition in Johnston, RI.
I sat there enjoying my usual Cranberry Raspberry Tea, while enjoying the company of some wonderful friends. As much as I enjoy the nutritious tea and shakes, I find that the association is equally nourishing.
After I'd had my fill of nourishing interaction, and ordering a Coffee Toffee Crunch Shake to enjoy later. I decided to head the local park in Johnston. Though it might be argued that I've spent too much time in self reflection. The warm sun, and refreshing breeze made it irresistibly enjoyable.
There's an island in the center of the park, where I was able to sit and soak in the sun's rays. The bridge that led to the small island, seemed to promise a place of solitude and peace.
Having intentionally left my phone in the car, I was able to enjoy some time reflecting and praying. It was nice to sit quietly, and observe my surroundings.
Though I'd seen a family across the water, rejoicing as the young girl reeled in a fish. I was surprised at how clearly I could see the fish in the water.
It really was a beautiful day. A wonderful reminder that I really am blessed, and I welcomed the escape from my daily concerns. A wonderful refreshment of my spirit.
I am alive and blessed, and what better way to share it then with an #iamalivechallenge post.
The #iamalivechallenge is hosted by @flaxz and supported by the #wearealive tribe. I pray today brings you an abundance reasons to stop and appreciate being alive. God bless.
