I'm FREE!

For a week... took my last final of this semester today and the summer session starts next Tuesday. While I was taking my 8 AM Methods final, I saw a school of little fish in a stream. A larger fish swam into the school and ate 2 of the smaller ones. I thought, Wait! That's not right! I woke with a bit of a start and finally managed to finish ( Read more... )

Agreed! Thanks. I went kayaking with my sweetie! Being out on the water, enjoying the wildlife and sunset were definately a celebration for me - of life.

Thank you. Did it already...kayaking and taking time to enjoy life! I got out on the water, raised up the paddle, and exclaimed, "I'm free!" It was a perfect day. The sun was warm, no wind, and the lake was as smooth as glass. How beautiful - especially with the sunset reflecting from the water! For added effect, I happened to have gone back into a series of pathways where there was plenty of activity - muskrats, beaver, a huge turtle, a good size water snake of some sort, a goldfinch right next to me, and a flock of geese that flew low overhead. When I turned around to paddle out, I was struck by the awesome beauty of it. The sun was shining around building storm clouds, there were beautiful colors in the sky, and the expanse of the lake was framed by several large pieces of driftwood in front of me. In that wonderful moment, I was perfectly happy and content - full of gratitude and love of life. I am so fortunate.
