The Lake

Good afternoon! Friday afternoon blog! In appreciation of all our natural wonders of the world! I wrote a poem this morning about one of our beautiful Great Lakes! I was fortunate enough to live right by Lake Erie for 17 years! But my thought process then, was nothing compared to now! I moved back to my childhood home last April! One whole year I have been back and enjoying everything from my childhood with a new appreciation! Of course Maumee Bay State Park was not here when I was growing up! When I am walking, I can’t wait to get back there! I love a beach, any beach, I love the sound of rolling waves, sun glistening on the water! Such peaceful and serene things to see and hear! The sound of all of the different birds, is like music! We heard birds in town, but you could not see them! Not quite the same! Why didn’t I see and hear these things growing up! My mind was in so much turmoil most of the time, I think I was blind in many ways! Sights and sounds of nature are like music, if you are really listening! Just look around you, at what you have around you! You just might see something for the first time! Calm the storms inside your mind and soul! I find even the rain coming down in a pattern or the sound, is beautiful! Look and listen, be at one with everything around you! Be at peace with yourself! I have a new lease on life! God is giving me blessings every day! More than I ever imagined when we moved here! Open your eyes, in mind, body and soul, get in touch with all of your senses! God can show you things you never imagined, if you want it! Beauty can rise out of pain and make you strong in very positive ways! Bring balance into your life, all parts, mind, body, and soul! Spiritual, mental, and physical! Balance and moderation in all things! You have to know, you are sooooo worth it! You are amazing! God bless! Have a wonderful evening! Enjoy!❤️🤗🤗❤️
