A Good Harvest

Today was a beautiful day.

It felt like summer this morning so I took my walk early. I wanted my energy level to be high. Exercise seems to be the “in” thing right now because there were people everywhere. Walking, jogging, cycling… I was constantly zigzagging across streets, making sure to stay 6 feet away. How weird that feels! I try to acknowledge everyone—offering a smile, a wave, or a friendly “hello”—just to let them know I’m not trying to be avoidant. Or rude.

Still no photographs from the streets. I ordered a super lightweight backpack to carry my water, camera, and music… so after Saturday I’m ready to rock and roll. Now let’s hope for some good photo-ops!

And if not, that’s alright too. On my walk… I realized that I’ve got to stop building these expectations. That’s what the problem has been.

I need to Just BE. Just ENJOY.
Stop thinking and worrying about plans… and Just DO.

Things are as they are, we suffer because we imagined different.

That’s about all for now, thanks for reading!

About the Image: My mood was so elevated after soaking in all of that sunshine that I roamed the backyard to see what I could share. I’ve been watching these hanging strawberries and this afternoon they were begging for a selfie.

    2. Oh no, dear–not just you! I’ve spent my life “expecting” far too much–of myself, others, life… And yet there are preachers who tell us to Ask BIG, Pray for the Impossible. There’s probably a balance in there somewhere, but I don’t know where/what it is. I’ve learned to lower my expectations…”somewhat” 🙂 Success depends on the day 🙂
