I was driving up to work yesterday, my drive to work takes me right up the mountains. As I was pulling in to the drive way, there were about 20 wild turkeys. I had to drive slow and wait till they all moved, they all shuffled over to where the horses were. I got out of my car and started setting stuff up for another firing in the barn, I saw 3 little birds flying around and singing. Time went on and I started to hear thumping. I looked around and saw 2 stray cats jumping in and out of some small boxes that I have left out. I have seen the cats out in the fields before, but never seen them up close, let alone in the same room. after about five hours, I gathered my stuff up and headed to my car to go home. It was getting darker and I could see that the lights from the city were starting to turn on. as I had my hands full of things walking to my car, I had to stop and look at the most amazing view. The Mountains were glowing and the city was lit up, the snow was a beautiful blue/purple color.
I was live it! and I didn't even know it! I was living a life that people dream of! I live in a place where things like wild turkeys, horses, and deer walk around. And it's a normal thing for me to see.
even though I'm not a hunter,farmer,cowgirl,or even much of a snow person. Here I was.... living someones dream life. It really made me stop and be very grateful for my life and where I am.
Sometimes all we think about is where we want to be.
I say to you....stop and look where you are and love it. I bet you someone wishes that they could have what you have! so don't take it for granite!
Love where you are now!!
