Nature’s Quilt

THIS IS THE SIGHT THAT GREETED ME AS I HEADED OUT TO OUR GARAGE THIS MORNING.  IT WAS ALMOST TOO PRETTY TO STEP UPON. 

IT GOT ME THINKING .  WHAT STEPS WILL I TAKE TO MAKE TODAY A GREAT ONE?  LIFE IS SUCH A PATCHWORK OF OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME , DECISIONS TO MAKE (SOME CLEAR AS BLACK AND WHITE, SOME IN THE GREY ZONE) , AND PEOPLE WITH WHOM WE WILL INTERACT. 

INTER. ACT.    I HOPE THAT MY INNER THOUGHTS WILL LEAD TO MANY ACTS OF KINDNESS ON MY LENTEN JOURNEY. 

SO OF COURSE I DID STEP ON THIS PATHWAY.  I ENTERED THE COLD BUT WITH WARM THOUGHTS OF GRATITUDE FOR THE CHANCE TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY , ANOTHER CHANCE TO BE KIND , ANOTHER CHANCE TO STEP OUT OF MYSELF AND GIVE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I USUALLY DO.  THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS FOR WHICH I AM THANKFUL. 

AND YOU, DEAR READER, ARE INCLUDED !
