I'm here in New Mexico and the weather is crisp and fragrant. A magnificent cocktail of aromas--like heaven and burning rain. I don't know if that is exactly possible, but my senses tell me it is so.
We ride the four-wheelers through the fields, once green, now bitten by frost and golden, and I hold tight knowing I am lucky to feel joy. Life is happy and it is beautiful and while I could go off listing things that are frustrating me at the moment, I'd much rather feel the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. I think I'll count the clouds in the sky and remember the giant silver moon we saw on the horizon yesterday evening.
Those are the things I choose to focus on and that is how I am happy.
I hope you each find your own way, or feel free to borrow mine, and I hope you each remember to be kind and good all your days, because the alternative is so much less appealing.

what a beautiful post! thanks for lifting my spirits today.
The moon is amazingly big here as well. Nothing is as awe-inspiring as the night sky in the fall. I love your positivity... positiveness? That's the word apparently.
I love this. It's easy to forget the beautiful, unique parts of life when we're not specifically looking for them. This is a great reminder.
Also. Those pictures are amazing. You are brave, girl! I don't know if I'd have the guts to get up there.
it's like Smallville. :P
oh. my. goodness. that top picture is gorgeous!!
this is like my philosophy of life! i know there will never be a moment in my life where there isn't something going wrong or something to worry about or something that bothers me but when i focus on that i forget that there are way more things in my life that are beautiful and so right! and that is no way to live. choose love, light and laughter above all.
