Fifty- in tune with life!

“Joy rises in me, like as a summer’s morning.”

– Samuel Coleridge 

 

          Each morning when I awaken the first things I see are the tops of evergreen pine trees and the sky.  I have no window treatments as they would only block this beautiful view from my sight.  I need to see and appreciate being alive and to feel a part of the world.

          I have a sound system that runs throughout my house and it plays the sound of the ocean tides 24/7, a soft, settled, backwash most folks would only notice if they are in tune with their surroundings.  It helps create a sense of serenity and a refuge from negative distractions.

          There are all sorts of plants throughout my home to help keep the air pure and fresh, but it also helps me stay connected with the simplicity of life.

           I find being connected to these earthly things help keep me balance as to what is important in my life.  So, each time I have a chance to walk in the rain, chase a snowflake,  dig in my garden, rescue a fallen bird, or gaze at a full moon and a sky filled with billions of twinkling stars I am connected.

 What are you connected to?
