Take Me To That Place


Do you know that place where you feel all is right in your world? I love it, 
when I feel like that. And I did, yesterday afternoon. 


I was sitting on the porch picking out pecans from their newly cracked shells and 
I became aware of how peaceful my surroundings were. I heard a 
neighbor's cat meowing, birds chirping and not much else. 


Despite the fact that I haven't taken down the fake bluebird yet, 
Cardinals came to the feeder and had dinner. They didn't even mind that 
I was sitting just a few feet away. The air was perfect. 
The sky was a little cloudy, just enough to obscure the setting sun ever so slightly. 
And I felt myself smiling.


That day, that feeling, that time sitting in the rocker on my porch took me to a place that I hope I am creating for my family, here at the lake. A place of peace and calm, a place that is reminiscent of simpler times in the country or on a farm.

Hope your day will take you to a similar place,
Laurie
